The ASG Culture represents the new strategic compass for companies aiming to build a more sustainable and competitive future. Far from being just a checklist, the power of this acronym lies in its ability to unite three essential pillars:

• A for Environmental, with a focus on conscious resource management, energy efficiency, and reducing the ecological impact of operations.
• S for Social, prioritizing the well-being and safety of employees, inclusion, and a positive relationship with the community.
• G for Governance, which ensures transparency, ethics, and robust controls for honest and responsible management.

Together, these pillars create a virtuous cycle, driving innovation, strengthening reputation, and building a future of lasting value for the company and society.

Social

The Social pillar of ASG focuses on the company's relationship with its employees, clients, and the community. It promotes equity, inclusion, and respect for human rights, ensuring a fair and safe work environment. By prioritizing this aspect, the organization demonstrates its commitment to generating a positive and lasting impact on society.

Environmental

The Environmental pillar encourages companies to minimize their ecological footprint. This involves the efficient management of natural resources, such as water and energy, reducing pollutant emissions, and investing in sustainable technologies and processes. Adopting responsible environmental practices is essential for building a greener and more resilient future.

Governance

The Governance pillar is the foundation of ASG, ensuring the company is managed with transparency and ethics. It establishes clear policies for accountability, anti-corruption, and ensures integrity in decision-making. Solid governance is fundamental to maintaining the trust of investors and other stakeholders.

The ASG Culture at Globo Usinagem

At Globo Usinagem, the ASG Culture is not just a concept, but a living structure applied in all our operations. As illustrated in our flowchart, sustainability unfolds into three essential pillars, with concrete actions that guide our growth and market impact.

Environmental Pillar

• • Waste Management: Projects with challenging goals seek to maximize the reduction of generated waste.
  • Water Reuse: The effluent treated at the Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is reused, and the Biological WWTP is recovered.
  • Clean Energy: The company uses 100% clean energy in its operations, reinforcing its commitment to the environment.

Social Pillar

• • Workplace Inclusion: The "First Job Project" and the "Women in Industry Project" promote diversity and professional development.
  • Growth and Ethics: A solid "Career Plan" and a "Code of Ethics and Conduct" guide the development of our employees.

Governance Pillar

• • Corporate Structure: Management is based on a holding structure and a clear "Shareholders' Agreement".
  • Strategic Vision: The "Strategic Plan" is developed based on an "Advisory Board," ensuring transparent and future-oriented management.

A long-term success of a company depends on ethical business conduct. Complying with legal and regulatory requirements in its products, processes and facilities.

Social responsibility translates into the company's exercise of moral and civic consciousness and presupposes recognition of the community, identifying, understanding and meeting its needs. 

With this responsibility, every year, Globo Usinagem collects donations and visits a philanthropic institution to hold the Solidary Christmas, bringing hope for a more just and egalitarian society.

Globo Usinagem aims at a higher goal: to create a foundation capable of promoting a healthy and pleasant environment for working, besides achieving a standard of engagement within its collaborators and society, capable of valuing all actions that can contribute to behavior change, focused on Environment preservation.

By using consistent practices, the company carries out actions that focus on controlling and, when possible, eliminating environmental impacts from its activities, for instance:

• Biological Effluent Treatment Plant: treats all biological effluent generated by the company;
• Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant: treats the industrial effluent generated by the process, in addition, treated water is reused in a closed circuit;
• Efficient Collection of Recyclable Waste Materials
• Waste Center: an appropriate storage location for hazardous and non-hazardous waste that is separated until final disposal;
• Monitoring and reduction targets for waste generation and use of natural resources;
• Development of a project for total recovery of a Permanent Preservation Area (PPA);
• Organized tours for students aimed at sharing information and experiences;
• Continuous work with employees to raise awareness about environment protection.
