Cleveland-Cliffs Inc

## Public Policy Advocacy

As the world develops efficient technology and navigates a changing economy, steel plays an important role in the transformation to prioritize global sustainability. To facilitate this transition through public policy, Cleveland-Cliffs is a member of several trade associations at the local, state and national levels and these associations allow us to track applicable public policy issues.

#### Memberships with Prominent Associations

We are a member of the leading national steel trade association, the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), and our participation includes serving on the AISI committee that advances sustainability in our industry. One specific example is our close collaboration with AISI to outline the priorities for AISI's climate policy. AISI's climate principles align with the climate-related public policy principles outlined in our commitment to reducing GHG emissions.
