Sustainability Report 2015 Base Year Message from the Ceo SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2015 BASE YEAR MESSAGE FROM THE CEO It is my great pleasure to present the Sustainability Report for Fiscal Year 2015. In it, we sought to record the main events and indicators of our mana- gement during the period. At the base of its all is our commitment to transparency and to showing the social, environmental and economic aspects of Usiminas. From the social point of view, we contribute to the progress of the communities we operate in. In regard to the environment, the management of our business units increasingly seeks greater awareness and effi ciency in the use of natural resources. From the economic standpoint, we report on the Brazilian outlook, with its consequences on the steel market and on our results. We are aware of our challenges, but we also know our potential. This undoubtedly allows us to always move forward, working towards a more sustainable Usiminas. I hope you enjoy reading the report. Rômel Erwin de Souza CEO A USIMINAS Profile Fifty-three years after its incorporation, today Usiminas is one of Latin America’s largest steel complexes. The Company’s vocation as an industry is to supply quality fl at steel and services with innovative technology. Its solutions permeate the most stra- tegic production chains: automotive and auto parts, household applian- ces, energy, industrial machinery, civil construction and more. To this end, Usiminas invests in modernizing its facilities and products with differentiated technological content, always in line with world rese- arch and application trends. At the base of it all, the Company’s qualifi ed workforce combines expe- rience and capability to achieve effi ciency and productivity. Those who seek excellence know that development can be shared. Usimi- nas works in a sustainable manner and as a good corporate citizen. Through the São Francisco Xavier Foundation (Fundação São Francisco Xa- vier), we invest in education and healthcare. The Usiminas Cultural Insti- tute (Instituto Cultural Usiminas) supports culture and sport. And we also promote environmental initiatives such as the Xerimbabo Project, which has welcomed more than two million visitors over almost three decades. Usiminas contributes towards building a sustainable future, with innova- tion, know how and quality. BUSINESS UNITS Usiminas Usiminas has two steel mills, in Ipatinga, in the Vale do Aço, MG region, and in Cubatão, in the Baixada Santista, SP. The integration of the mills makes it possible to offer the market a diversifi ed portfolio of fl at steel, in particular products of high technological content. The Ipatinga plant also has the Unigal facility, which makes hot dip galvanized steel. Find out more at usiminas.com.

  • STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES in BRAZIL: HISTORY and LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G
    Workshop on State-Owned Enterprises in the Development Process Paris, 4 April 2014 OECD Conference Centre, Room 4 STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini This paper serves as background material for the Workshop on SOEs in the Development Process taking place in Paris on 4 April 2014. It was prepared by Aldo Musacchio and Sergio G. Lazzarini working as consultants for the OECD Secretariat. The opinions and views expressed and arguments employed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect or represent the official views of the OECD or of the governments of its member countries. STATE-OWNED ENTERPRISES IN BRAZIL: HISTORY AND LESSONS Aldo Musacchio Harvard Business School and NBER Sergio G. Lazzarini Insper Prepared for The Working Party on State-Ownership and Privatisation Practices OECD (Revised version, February 28, 2014) INTRODUCTION Despite decades of liberalization and privatization in many countries, state ownership and state-led business activity remains widespread (Christiansen, 2011). Governments still often use state-owned enterprises (SOEs) to promote local development and invest in sectors in which private investment is scant. Many SOEs endured over the years and turned into large corporations partnering with market investors and competing on a global scale against private multinationals. The forms of ownership and control governments use in the set of surviving SOEs is, however, poorly understood. Beyond the traditional wholly-owned SOEs, governments also intervene to support specific industries by propping up privately held enterprises (i.e., “national champions”). These private firms receive government support in the form of minority equity investments, direct subsidized loans from development banks, and equity and debt purchases by sovereign wealth funds.

We Y have closed the period with results that show a quick and effective reaction ca- pacity. Supported by the Board of Directors, Usiminas’ Executive Board took the lead in an effective work to meet and react to the extraordinary demands brought by the pandemic. The Board of Directors’ agenda, on the other hand, has been adapted to this challenging scenario. 29 meetings were held, whether in person or via video con- ference, to approve urgent matters. The Board has quickly approved the shutdown of the blast furnaces during the crisis – and later it approved them to gradually resume operations. Another 2020 issue was the corporate restructuring of Usiminas Mecâni- ca, which now focuses on providing services only to Usiminas companies. The Company’s good results, despite all hurdles, allow us to embark in this new de- cade looking to the future and build the company’s perpetuity. We are strongly en- gaged in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) matters, in line with the long- term sustainability strategy. 3 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT | 2020 We have strengthened measures that began to gain momentum over the past years.

  • Parcerias Com Setor Privado Ajudam Copasa a Crescer
    Partnerships with the private sector help Copasa grow Cesar Felicio, de Belo Horizonte August 21, 2009 Text: A- A+ Print After seven years of losses, Copasa, a state-owned company from the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, recorded a net income of R$241 million in the first semester this year and entered into the first partnerships with private companies to expand its operations. Copasa acquired 20% of a company created by Foz do Brazil, formerly Odebrecht Engenharia Ambiental. The Special Purpose Entity (SPE) will construct and operate for a period of 15 years facilities for water catchment and treatment of effluents from the pipe factory under construction by Vallourec & Sumitomo in Jeceaba, Minas Gerais. The acquisition of the stake was relatively cheap—R$20 million—but is nonetheless strategically important. "We agreed to become Odebrecht’s partner in the search for other private clients, in operations similar to the one in Jeceaba, and also to take part in future water and sewage concession auctions," said Márcio Nunes, who began his career in the electricity sector and, since 2005, has been Copasa’s CEO. According to Nunes, the partnership with Foz do Brasil is not Copasa’s only partnership with private companies; it has a similar agreement with Cowan, a Minas Gerais State construction company. Copasa also hopes to enter into long-term service agreements with steel industries that, in general, collect water and treat effluents on their own. Copasa has already started negotiating with Usiminas, whose main steel plant is located in Ipatinga, Minas Gerais. A Usiminas spokesperson informed Valor that it has not decided to outsource the activity yet and that, right now, there are no negotiations in progress.

    Análise de concorrentes no setor de Siderurgia: evidências sobre determinantes de custos em fontes de informações públicas Débora Hirata Missunaga (UEM) - [email protected] Rafael Henrique Silva (UEM) - [email protected] Katia Abbas (UEM) - [email protected] Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo é identificar por meio de informações públicas os determinantes de custos em empresas de siderurgia brasileiras. Possui como objeto de estudo as empresas Gerdau S.A. e Usinas Siderúrgicas de Minas Gerais S.A. - USIMINAS. A coleta de dados se deu exclusivamente em fontes públicas de informações, sendo elas Sites Institucionais (SI), demonstrações e relatórios financeiros referente ao período de 2015 a 2017. Para isso foi utilizado o modelo de roteiro proposto por Costa e Rocha (2014), o qual possui dezenove itens de análise dos determinantes de custos, com os respectivos elementos que os caracterizam. Para o tratamento dos dados foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo. Os resultados apontaram que as empresas do setor siderúrgico divulgam bastante informações que analisadas em conjunto, permitem inferir sobre todos os determinantes de custos selecionados para análise das organizações. Verificou-se que as empresas pesquisadas dão ênfase aos determinantes tecnologia, experiência, comprometimento, qualidade e localização, e que não é possível analisar com um nível maior de detalhamento os determinantes que envolvem capacidade de produção como escala e capacidade utilizada devido ao cenário em que se encontra o setor siderúrgico
