There are many differences between the ferrous and non-ferrous industries, not least in the chemistries of the materials underpinning them: base metals are chemical elements, while steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Similarly, non-ferrous industries have been using risk management tools for decades, while the steel industry is only now discovering the potential benefits of these practices. During this panel we will hear the first-hand experience of some of the companies pioneering the use of these new approaches to risk management and how they are building the use of steel futures into their business models.
