ESG

Social

We take care of our people.

Each day, we work to build a work environment that fosters teamwork, respect and ethics. We want to make real progress on diversity and inclusion, in a journey where equal opportunity enhances our ability to positively impact our own business, our industry and the broader market. As part of this strategy, CBA works to ensure high standards of health, safety and quality of life for both direct and third-party employees. We believe physical and emotional well-being, combined with human diversity, enhances our potential to innovate and respond to society’s needs.

Diversity

Brazil is the 9th most unequal country in the world. At the pace of progress over the last 20 years, black Brazilians will only earn the same as whites in 2089 and Brazilian women will only close the wage gap in 2047. Affirmative action is an effective way to achieve diversity and inclusion by providing equal opportunity and eliminating discrimination at the workplace, helping to reduce the legacy of inequality in heavy industry.

Diversity Committee

In 2020 we set up a Diversity Committee of employees from different functions and organizational levels. The Committee is tasked with fostering diverse thinking within the organization, and respect and empathy toward others.

Diversity & Inclusion Policy

This policy contains guidance on and reiterates CBA’s commitment to ensuring an equitable and respectful work environment and eliminating any form of discrimination within the Company. The Policy has been developed in accordance with the Brazilian Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Abiding by the rules in the Policy is a condition of continued employment with CBA, and this extends to outsourced workers and suppliers.

Young SDG Innovators – Women in Mining and Metals

If women belong wherever they want to be, then why not in the mining and metals industry? With this question in mind, CBA has recently joined Young SDG Innovators, an acceleration program launched by the Global Compact Network Brazil for young professionals who want to solve business challenges and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through our participation in the Women in Mining and Metals project, which focuses on SDG 5 (gender equity), CBA hopes to demystify the industry for the community and increase women’s employment in this market.

Capacity building for women

In 2020, a program in partnership with the National Industrial Training Service (SENAI) trained 20 women in the Alumínio community to become metallurgical process operators. SENAI provided a total of 200 hours of training, including 24 hours of training on life skills, 16 hours of safety training, and 160 hours of technical training, which was partly administered in person and partly through distance learning. On completing the course, participants were better equipped to find job opportunities. In 2020, nine students were hired to work art CBA. The program will continue in 2021.

Health and safety

Brazil’s occupational injury rates are among the highest in the world, with more than 1 million lost-time injuries occurring between 2014 and 2018, according to data from the Brazilian Social Security Service. Psychological disorders and diseases associated with sedentary lifestyles are also on the rise, directly affecting employee productivity and retention. At CBA, safety is non-negotiable.
