    Sustainable Relationship with Communities

    At CSN, we understand that our responsibility extends beyond our industrial activities. In 2024, we reaffirmed our social commitment through robust investments and concrete actions for the benefit of the communities where we operate. We allocated R$66 million to social responsibility, directly benefiting more than 6,000 people in 37 brazilian cities.

    This work is led by the Fundação CSN, our main link to society, whose work is aligned with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    Our social work is diverse, integrated, and strategic. In cities like Montes Claros, Cantagalo, Volta Redonda and São Paulo, we supported 51 organizations and trained 127 people, promoting a positive network effect. The Garoto Cidadão Program is a cultural and educational initiative that expanded its training activities in 43% of the territories it serves. The goal is to reach 80% by 2028, increasing the sustainability of local impacts.

    Engagement and Active Listening

    We value dialogue and community engagement as pillars of our relationship with society. The Socioeconomic Monitoring Program (PMS), in Congonhas and Belo Vale (MG), provides continuous monitoring and assessment of socio-environmental risks with a focus on the well-being of communities near the P15 Plant. The Support House, located near the Casa de Pedra Mine, is a community listening space that assisted more than 1,000 people in 2024, primarily with information on job opportunities and safety.

    Environmental Education and Sustainable Culture

    Environmental awareness is one of the most important fronts for collective transformation. In 2024, the Environmental Education Program (PEA) reached more than 30,000 people with initiatives like: “Ambientar,” “Fauna em Foco,” “Se essa rua fosse minha” and “Pensar Eco é Lógico.”

    These programs combine education, citizenship, and environmental care, promoting a culture of sustainability from an early age.

    Volunteering and Engagement in the Cement Sector

    CSN Cimentos is expanding its social impact with initiatives that promote inclusion and solidarity.

    The Stakeholder Engagement Plan, which includes guided tours, dialogue committees, and triennial surveys, involved 2,530 people in visits and 844 in diagnostics in 2024.

    The CSN Cimentos Volunteering Program saw the active participation of 327 employees, benefiting 1,862 people. More than 2,400 toys/clothing items and 2,213 kg of food were collected.

    The Sustainable Productive Inclusion Program, launched in Piauí, invested R$15 million to benefit at least 100 families with a focus on sustainable rural production.

    International and Humanitarian Actions

    Our commitment to the community also extends beyond borders. In Germany, through SWT, we invested 116,000 euros in social projects focused on education and sports, with a special emphasis on supporting the SV Stahl Unterwellenborn club and initiatives in schools and daycare centers.

    In response to climate tragedies in Brazil, such as the floods in Rio Grande do Sul, CSN, together with the CSN Foundation, mobilized its employees and organized the delivery of 50,000 blankets and 2,850 pallets, ensuring swift and effective humanitarian aid to affected families.

    Linha Verde - Green Line CSN

    One of the relationship channels with the company’s stakeholders is the Linha Verde (Green Line) – an electronic channel (telephone and e-mail) available to society for any complaints, doubts and suggestions of an environmental nature related to the company’s activities. A specialized team from CSN is committed to meeting the demands of the community in a maximum of 15 business days. Call volume is periodically reported to senior management. Phone: 0800 2824440
