Gerdau is working to have, by the end of next year, the "B" company label, or simply a "B-Corp", as companies that can unite profit with social impact are known. In Brazil, Natura has been certified since 2014. Other smaller companies too, with the cosmetics manufacturer being the only one of publicly traded. Under Gustavo Werneck, Gerdau began formal procedures for obtaining this title last year and, throughout 2019, will follow the action plan for its achievement. In this trajectory, the company will, already in its next integrated report, report its CO2 indicators and open more environmental indicators. Certification is given by B Lab, a U.S. non-profit organization that recognizes companies not only for profiting, but for meeting social, environmental and transparency goals.
