Position paper on steel

From the Clyde’s shipbuilding docks, to the Forth Road Bridge and Ravenscraig, the ghosts of Scotland’s steel-rich past are still visible today. Scotland is now at a unique moment in its steel story. To power a better future, we must harness the steel assets of our past. Retaining and repurposed our scrap steel could be the key to creating hundreds of jobs and contribute more meaningfully to Scotland’s climate goals. However, without leadership from the Scottish Government, this chance will soon disappear.  

This paper sets out why Scotland needs a steel strategy, and the key components which must be included in it to create a fair and sustainable future for Scotland.
