In this video, you'll learn about the program from Naomi George (HR Business Partner), along with new apprentices (in order of appearance): Ashton Sharrock, Brielle Masters, Tye Bison, Jack McKenzie and Chris Ristevski.   🎧 Hear more about the #apprenticeship experience with us in episode 48 of our #VoicesOfBlueScope podcast: https://lnkd.in/gCKq3QRA   👥 Discover #careers with us around the world: https://lnkd.in/gmKauXYq   ▶️ Watch more #FocusOn videos at TVBlueScope: https://lnkd.in/gN9M8aa

Watch the fifth episode of our No. 6 Blast Furnace Reline video series! Join Justin Reed (Reline Project Director) and David Otsyula (6BF Health, Safety and Environment Manager) as they walk us through a mock-rescue exercise conducted at our facility, in collaboration with Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Police Force and the NSW State Emergency Service (SES). In this video, you'll witness breathtaking scenery and amazing rescue footage, while hearing from Jenna Conran (Regional Emergency Management Officer, NSW Police Force) and Tom Lewis (NSW SES Volunteer) as they share their perspectives of the event. This is an essential activity that ensures our people and community organisations are effective in potential rescue operations, not only at the site of our major reline project, but across the entire Port Kembla Steelworks. 🌐 Learn more about the #No6Reline project: https://lnkd.in/d-CZ365D ▶️ See another rescue example in our earlier video of the Port Kembla gas holders: https://lnkd.in/gcwix2Ya #BlueScope #CreatingStrength #HSE #community

Our Managing Director and CEO, Mark Vassella took some time out to talk about BlueScope’s half-year results for the 2025 financial year. Watch Mark below, as he details BlueScope’s financial performance in a tough operating environment impacted by soft steel spreads. Positively, shareholders’ interim fully-franked dividend was announced at 30 cents per share. There’s a lot to look forward to thanks to our 2030 growth ambitions, as over the next five years, we expect to achieve significant earnings growth through initiatives in the US, such as North Star BlueScope Steel’s debottlenecking and the ramp-up of our BlueScope Coated Products business, along with value-added products such as COLORBOND® steel sales growth in Australia. 🌐 Visit our website to read the full financial results: https://lnkd.in/gKzqiA5x #BlueScope #FinancialResults #steel #manufacturing #strategy

Australia’s two largest iron ore miners BHP and Rio Tinto, along with BlueScope, have selected the Kwinana Industrial Area, south of Perth Western Australia as the location to develop Australia’s largest ironmaking electric smelting furnace (ESF) pilot plant—Project NeoSmelt.   The NeoSmelt parties also announced that Woodside Energy will join the consortium as an equal equity participant and energy supplier, subject to finalising commercial arrangements.   The pilot plant will initially use natural gas to reduce iron ore to direct reduced iron (DRI), but once operational, the project aims to use lower-carbon emissions hydrogen to reduce iron ore. If successful, NeoSmelt has the potential to open a pathway to near-zero emissions steelmaking using Pilbara iron ore and ensure the longevity of Australia's iron ore industry. Watch a video below with details of the announcement from Tania Archibald (Chief Executive, Australian Steel Products), made at a press conference today on-site in Kwinana.
