Construction Owners Editorial Team

Commercial Metals Company (CMC), a major global player in steel manufacturing and construction reinforcement solutions, has been named to Newsweek’s America’s Most Responsible Companies 2026 list, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has earned this distinction.

CMC once again appears among the nation’s top performers after a comprehensive evaluation involving sustainability metrics, corporate reporting, and independent consumer surveys. The full ranking is available on Newsweek’s website.

In announcing the recognition, Peter R. Matt, President and Chief Executive Officer of CMC, reaffirmed the company's ongoing commitment to responsible business practices. "We are honored to receive this recognition from Newsweek," Matt said. "It reflects the dedication of our employees and our ongoing commitment to operating responsibly, supporting our communities, and reducing our environmental impact. We remain focused on advancing these priorities as we continue to build a stronger future for all our stakeholders."

A Growing Reputation for ESG Leadership

CMC’s continued presence on the list underscores the company’s integrated approach to sustainability across its operations in the U.S. and Central Europe. With a network of steel mills, fabrication facilities, and advanced manufacturing plants, the company has been steadily expanding its investment in clean technologies, recycled content, and energy-efficient processes—key elements that factor into Newsweek’s scoring.

The recognition also aligns with increased attention on responsible materials production across the construction sector. As demand grows for lower-carbon supply chains and environmentally conscious infrastructure solutions, CMC’s leadership in recycling and sustainable steelmaking positions the company as a long-term partner for developers, engineers, and project owners.

CMC’s Role in the Construction Ecosystem

CMC’s mission—to build a stronger, safer, and more sustainable world—continues to shape its product line and market strategy. The company provides essential reinforcement materials for early-stage construction and supports a broad portfolio of projects across:

  • Infrastructure and transportation
  • Commercial and industrial developments
  • Residential construction
  • Energy generation and transmission
  • Non-residential and specialized construction sectors

CMC also continues to enhance its vertically integrated operations, from scrap recycling to steel production and fabrication, emphasizing circularity and waste reduction.

The company’s fourth consecutive recognition reflects its long-term commitment to responsible growth, workforce safety, community investment, and transparency. CMC’s programs include community partnerships, targeted workforce development initiatives, and investments in decarbonization technology, reinforcing the company’s broader corporate social responsibility goals.

By consistently appearing on Newsweek’s list, CMC signals to investors, contractors, and stakeholders that it remains focused on ESG performance as a core component of its strategy rather than a one-time initiative.
