“We are honored by this recognition,” said Mark D. Millett, SDI president and chief executive officer. “Our recognition is testimony to the extraordinary passion and spirit of excellence exhibited by our teams. It is their drive, innovation, and dedication to each other that propels Steel Dynamics to the highest standard of operational and financial performance. I thank each of them, and remind them, that their health and safety is our number one value and first priority.”
Additionally, 2021 World’s Most Admired Companies recognition was achieved by Nucor Corp. and Reliance Steel & Aluminum, ranking No. 2 and No. 3 in the metals industry, respectively.
The best-regarded companies in 52 industries are rated by executives, directors and analysts in each industry on nine criteria, from investment value and quality of management and products, to social responsibility and ability to attract talent. A company’s score must rank in the top half of its industry survey to be listed.
Congratulations to the three U.S. steel companies for this recognition and leading the Fortune list in the global metals industry.
