Our Essence, Mission, Vision and Values statements are CSN’s strategic compass. All of our employees must know and embrace these ideals, which are introduced during the “Corporate Integration” program and permeate all of the company’s activities.

The program consists of a series of planned visits for newly admitted executives to the main business units of the group, aiming to familiarize them with the productive processes and their respective leaders.

CSN discloses its Ethics Code to all of its employees. It materializes a combination of commitments that must be personally assumed by each one of our collaborators, guiding their professional conduct and ensuring that their work is marked by the transparency, legality and respect that distinguish us.

CSN invests continually in environmental management and its relationship with communities located near or around its operations. The Company’s environmental projects, between capital investments and defrayal, reaffirm the group’s view that quality of life, of both employees and the surrounding communities, is just as important as the quality of our products and services.

Created in 2010, the Sustainability Council provides guidelines so that CSN’s preoccupation with matters related to sustainability may permeate all of our activities. The Council plans and evaluates socio-environmental projects, stimulates debate, offers advice, and assesses the Company’s performance in questions of social, environmental and economic relevance.

CSN also has projects focused on environmental education, in partnership with the CSN Foundation, with an emphasis on questions related to historical and natural patrimonies (in the regions where it operates) as well as coexistence with mining activities, exploring art as an instrument to enable dialogue in between students of the public school system, teachers and our employees.

CSN endeavors to create safe and healthy work environments in all of its business units. Safety at work, promotion of health and general well-being, and sustainable development in relation to the environment and our target audiences are amongst the Company’s objectives in this domain. At CSN, the management is guided by the best practices, enabling the achievement of the ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certifications at its main operational units.

The Operational Health and Safety Management System contemplates audits, routine visits to our work areas, the analysis of risk involved in installations, critical analysis of operational processes, the investigation and assessment of accidents and incidents, an occupational hygiene program, certification of our workforce and the dissemination of the manual of safe behavior.

A simple program that aims to prepare CSN’s employees and their families to administer questions related to the domestic budget by means of techniques employed in financial education.

The program is composed of 5 modules that cover the following themes:

• Budget Administration
• Debt Management
• Financial Negotiations
• Banking Services
• Savings Accounts

This program assembles a variety of social projects undertaken by the Company and actions developed in partnership with the CSN Foundation.

One of the program’s strengths is the role assumed by CSN, which acts as a facilitator, reinforcing its commitment to the promotion of well-being to its employees.

The structured actions of “De Bem com a Vida” deal with three core themes:

• Health
• The work environment
• Community

CSN invests on technical trainings to pass along and/or recycle knowledge, abilities or attitudes that influence employees’ performance. Our trainings can be divided into three modalities:

Corporate Trainings

Aim to provide the employee with knowledge, abilities and competencies that contribute to the exercise of his/her attributions, accelerating development. Examples: Cirando do Conhecimento, Treinamento Rumo Certo, etc.

Functional Trainings

Aim to provide the employee with knowledge and abilities specific to the exercise of his/her attributions, according to the pertinent matrix of competencies or job description. Includes: operational, procedural, specific and technical training. Examples: galvanization process, lamination process, SCADA platform, Microsoft Excel, motor types, etc.

Compulsory Trainings

Aim to provide the employee with knowledge and abilities necessary for the exercise of his/her attributions, according to the pertinent matrix of competencies or job description. Examples: fire brigade, policies, corporate integration, etc.

This program aims to strengthen CSN’s organizational culture and the role of leaders within the Company by amplifying comprehension of the strategic pillars that guide our actions and promoting the continuous development of our employees in managerial positions.

Promotes continuous learning for CSN employees, encouraging the dissemination of knowledge within the Company and the enlargement of the organization’s intellectual capital. CSN’s own executives minister courses.

CSN concedes scholarships to its employees for technical and language courses, university graduation, post-graduation, and MBA, in consonance with the Company’s interests and the collaborator’s field of expertise. The program consists of education incentives created to support employees throughout their academic careers, aiming for a strategic long-term enhancement of their knowledge and capabilities, applicable to the exercise of their professional attributions.

This program employs a method that enables the development of knowledge and abilities necessary to meet pre-established procedures at CSN. Its objective is to qualify employees and make them more autonomous, giving them a sense of propriety to achieve the results expected at corporate units.

A growing concern at CSN relates to the process of identification, tracking and documentation of employees’ knowledge and abilities that increase performance and are subsequently strategic on an institutional level. To do so, the “knowledge management program” was launched. Its objectives include, but are not limited to, the promotion of organizational learning, guaranteeing the perpetuity of CSN’s businesses, coping with the challenges of growth and turnover, and accelerating the process of acclimatization undergone by newly hired employees.

Aims to identify, evaluate and develop potential successors to leadership positions within the Company. In addition to managing the careers of those selected efficiently, this program seeks the retention of employees who demonstrate excellent potential and performance.

Hence, it creates both real and planned career opportunities, taking into account the employees’ aspirations, technical and personal capacities, and degree of engagement.

The self-development guide provides employees with advice and strategies that enable them to assume responsibility for their own evolution and adopt techniques conducive to continuous learning. Hence, it makes employees the protagonists of their own development. The following themes are covered in the guide:

• Concepts related to development and self-development
• How to identify the best method for self-development
• How to elaborate an Individual Development Plan efficiently
• CSN competencies
• Behaviors expected for each competency
• Development actions “on the job”
• Development actions outside work
• How your manager, supervisor and other people can assist you
• What you can do as a manager
• Film suggestions
• Recommended readings

CSN’s Program of Participation in Results depends on goals and outcomes that consider the indicators derived from the Company’s business activities. The program’s objective is to create an incentive for productivity and the improvement of operational results. It quantifies the contribution of all employees, who become eligible for an additional variable compensation once a year.

A raise given as a token of recognition for employees’ exceptional performance.
