For our part, we know the true culture of quality as the environment in which there is no “Our employees not only follow quality guidelines, but they also constantly sense their colleagues’ focus on quality, whether in their work or their conversations, and feel its presence in everything that surrounds them.”

One of the most recent positive results achieved in this field is that Qatar Steel has recently obtained the accreditation of the Turkish Accreditation Institution for the chemical and mechanical tests that the company conducts on carbon steel bars used in concrete reinforcement in the State of Qatar and around the world.
Qatar Steel has also become the first steel company to date to achieve a performance rating of “Very Good” for the BES 6001 Supply Excellence Accreditation, as this accreditation granted by the British Reinforcing Steel Certification Authority represents a great importance and prestige, after the success of the re-evaluation review that was conducted in parallel with the review carried out by the Authority regarding program monitoring.

This philosophy helps to involve employees in all work matters with the aim of contributing to finding solutions to the problems that they may face while performing their work tasks.
