Public Relations
The PR firm known today as Hill+Knowlton Strategies was founded in 1927 with the Otis Steel Company in Cleveland, Ohio as a major first client.[1][2]
For the next 30 years, the firm had a reputation for defending the steel industry in public relations campaigns, including against striking workers most notoriously in the steel strike of 1952. [2][3]
Throughout this time, the steel industry not only had a known devastating environmental impact in terms of land contamination and Air Pollution in the areas surrounding manufacturing centers, it was also a central driver of industrial fossilization and greenhouse gas pollution.
Steel Pollution
A study conducted by CarbonBrief in 2021 found that the steel industry today is emitting 9-11% of global carbon dioxide, due to the fossil-fuel intense process used to manufacture steel.[4][5]
CO2 emissions estimates for manufacturing steel range from 1.4-1.85 tons of CO2 per ton of steel.[6]
