GFG Alliance is a collection of global businesses and investments. The organisation – headquartered in London, United Kingdom – is structured into three core industry brands: Liberty Steel Group, Alvance Aluminium Group and Simec Energy Group. Operations centre on the metals, mining and industrial energy sectors and in early 2021 the firm employed ~35,000 people across 30 countries.

In steelmaking, the company aims to increasingly recycle ferrous scrap using electric arc furnaces powered by renewable energy, adopting a so-called 'GREENSTEEL' business model.
