Diversity & Inclusion
We believe that Diversity and Inclusion constitute a promising path that contributes to the transformation of our society and drives our business. The initiatives and actions carried out reflect in practice mechanisms that promote equity and bring sustainable results of representation and equality.
In 2021, a Diversity and Inclusion department was created at the company, and to confirm our commitment to this agenda, a bold goal was set: to double the female workforce at CSN by 2025, from 14% to 28%. In line, we intensified the Training Women Program in Siderurgia, in Volta Redonda, and in Mineração, in Congonhas. The CSN Group has a zero tolerance commitment to any type of discrimination practice, as expressed in its Code of Ethics. We understand that an inclusive and diverse environment is important to stimulate innovation and ensure the continuity of our business. CSN also believes that an inclusive approach is critical to eliminating barriers that prevent the hiring and retention of women, and the consequent improvement in performance due to gender diversity.
The result of the representation of Women in the CSN Group went from 14.5% in December 2020 to 20,5% in December 2022, an increase of 42% in the period.
Regarding the result of Representativeness of Persons with Disabilities, in 2022 we had a growth of 16%, compared to 2021, with practices aimed at including these citizens, such as the Empowering Persons with Disabilities, launched in 2021 with the aim of training and hiring. In addition, goals were cascaded to all the group’s businesses, directing everyone to a path of greater inclusion and diversity.
