The United by Service initiative was launched in January 2021 to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of service and to highlight the impact our colleagues are making in the communities where our facilities operate. In 2023, U. S. Steel employees across the company volunteered more than 20,000 hours of their time.

Tyrell Anderson, an operational excellence engineer at U. S. Steel Gary Works in Gary, Indiana, was named the United by Service 2023 Volunteer of the Year. U. S.

Steel recognizing our efforts, and I look forward to making the company and the region proud.”
