At CSN, we understand that our responsibility extends beyond industrial operations. In 2025, we reaffirmed our social commitment through significant investments and concrete initiatives benefiting the communities where we operate. A total of BRL 48 million was invested in social responsibility programs, directly benefiting more than 6,000 people.
This work is led by the CSN Foundation, our primary link with society, whose activities are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The Garoto Cidadão Program, developed by the CSN Foundation, is a cultural and educational initiative that expanded its capacity-building activities and reached 4,076 children and adolescents across seven Brazilian states, covering 50% of the territories served. The goal is to reach 80% coverage by 2028, further increasing the sustainability of local impacts.
Environmental Education and a Sustainability Culture
Environmental awareness is one of the most important drivers of collective transformation. In 2025, the Environmental Education Program (PEA) reached approximately 30,000 people through 1,186 initiatives.
These programs combine education, citizenship, and environmental stewardship, fostering a culture of sustainability from an early age.
One of the Company’s stakeholder engagement channels is Linha Verde (Green Line), an electronic communication channel (telephone, WhatsApp, and website) available to the public for submitting environmental complaints, inquiries, and suggestions related to the Company’s activities. The volume of contacts received is periodically reported to senior management.
