For more than a century, Gerdau has been committed to the social development of the regions where it operates. Since 2018, Gerdau’s social actions have followed the strategy of transforming realities through ENTREPRENEURSHIP in three pillars: EDUCATION, HOUSING, and RECYCLING. It is our belief that with decent housing, knowledge for personal and professional development, and care for the environment, we will achieve a more just and sustainable society. And why entrepreneurship? Because it empowers people who are committed to building a better future.

The Gerdau Volunteering Program is based on the belief that all of us play an important role in achieving the common good. Each Gerdau location has a social responsibility committee that helps identify and drive volunteer activities in the local community. Our goal in 2023 is to mobilize 20% of our employees to volunteer their time and talents to transfer knowledge and seek solutions for problems affecting communities.
