"Our ambition to establish Aperam as the leading value creator in the circular economy of infinite, world-changing 
materials is at the heart of our transformation. Beyond producing steel, we are creating value across supply chains: 
from stainless, electrical steel, aerospace and specialty alloys to recycling, charcoal, and forestry. These are the 
materials that will power our planet's future. 
 
Our success begins with our 13,000 people across the world. Their knowledge of materials, their ability to innovate and 
their determination to move fast, together - is the foundation of my confidence in our global team. What truly sets us 
apart is our uniquely integrated value chain, where our businesses succeed because they work together as one Aperam. 
 
For our customers and communities, my commitment is clear: to create value responsibly, to be a trusted partner and a 
good neighbour, and to continuously improve the world we serve, every day." 
 
The broader Leadership Team supporting Mr. Sivaji has been in place since 1 October 2025. With this leadership
