IPSCO believes in being a good neighbor. Since its establishment in 2004, IPSCO's Foundation for Education has donated more than $300,000 to local schools in Alabama's Mobile County. The funds come from savings achieved by recycling scrap tires as a carbon substitute in the steel-making process at the Mobile Steelworks. This is one of many examples of the way IPSCO supports environmental stewardship, education and other important charities and organizations in the communities in which we operate.
