Environmental management
Our businesses are complementary and integrated, promoting the circular economy by driving synergies and economies of scale. We operate across the entire steel production chain, from iron ore extraction to the commercialization of finished steel, as well as in cement production, from raw materials to manufacturing, supported by logistics that transport materials and finished products.
We maintain various Social, Environmental, and Sustainability Management instruments to proactively operate and transform natural resources into prosperity and sustainable development. To achieve this, the Company monitors and ensures the proper functioning of its Environmental Management System (EMS), implemented in accordance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 14.001:2015. Approximately 95% of the Group’s production units are certified under this standard, with the remaining 5% set to be certified by 2030. All units undergo internal audits to ensure environmental compliance, and we are committed to continuous improvement through environmental performance monitoring.
Sustainability Policy
The Sustainability Policy guides a governance structure on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) topics that extends from the Board of Directors to administrative and operational areas.
This cross-cutting vision and sustainability vision and strategy is driven by the Sustainability Directorate of the CSN Group, responsible for defining the ESG strategic plan, establishing socio-environmental goals, and monitoring projects and initiatives aimed at achieving strategic objectives. Reporting directly to the CEO, this Directorate also leads actions for the culture, engagement, and training of all businesses on ESG topics.
