The initiative seeks to make the community aware of the need for donations of resources to assist children and teenagers, as well as for educational bodies focused on them. The 14th edition of Top of HR received around 70 entries and recognized the work of eleven companies. Contributions to the Fund are made by means of income tax deductions, in accordance with the federal Funcriança law. Individuals can donate up to 6% of taxes due and companies up to 1%. One of the project differentials is that each donating company or individual can choose the entity that benefits from its donation, provided the benefited entity's activities are approved by municipal, state or federal councils of the Rights of Children and Teenagers. To date, the fund has benefited 123 social institutions that look after 22,375 children and teenagers in Brazil. In 2005, the project received resources amounting to R$ 4.6 million. Since 1999, when the Gerdau Group incorporated undertook the program, the company and its employees have already donated R$ 14.3 million to the Fund. Gerdau Group employees commemorate the award

This is one of the challenges of the All for Education initiative, launched in Sao Paulo, with the support of the Gerdau Group, through the Gerdau Institute, and other companies. Apart from increasing school attendance, the project also aims to achieve other educational targets by September 2022, including teaching all children by the age of eight to read and write; having 60% of students enrolled in the appropriate grade for their age; conclusion of high school education for 70% of young people by the age of 19; conclusion of high school education for 80% of young people by the age of 16; and increasing investment in education from 3% to 5% of GDP.

4 Gerdau Ameristeel Jackson invests in recycling The Gerdau Ameristeel Jackson steel mill, in Tenesse (USA), invested USD $20 million in the installation of new processing equipment for scrap, the principal raw material of steel production. With the new machines it will be possible to increase scrap-processing quality. Among the new equipment is a machine for processing railroad trucks, with recycling capacity of up to 4,800 units per year. The Mega Shredder, one of the most modern pieces of recycling equipment in the world, begins operations in December, with the capacity to process 25,000 tons of scrap per month. The plant gets ready to receive the Mega Shredder focused on scrap processing Gerdau stimulates the competitiveness of micro and small companies in Brazil Around 45% of workers in Brazil with an employment contract work in micro and small companies, according to the International Labor Organization. To promote the reduction of unemployment and to increase income in the country, the Gerdau Group implemented competitiveness awards that value the best micro and small companies' management cases. In September, the first edition of the Outstanding Business Award, a partnership between the Gerdau Group, Sebrae (Sao Paulo), Sao Paulo Institute of Excellence and Management (Ipeg) and the Federation of Industries of the state of Sao Paulo (Fiesp), was launched in Sao Paulo. In addition to Sao Paulo, another eight Brazilian states also hold the competition. In Minas Gerais state, the winning five micro and small companies of the 11th edition of the Business Excellence Award are already known. This year, the award had 3,916 entries, a 5% increase from the previous edition, which shows that the businessmen are ever more attentive to the importance of quality management in the development of their business. Over the next few months the winners of Rio Grande do Sul state and Santa Catarina state (Entrepreneurial Talent), of Parana state (Business Success), of Rio de Janeiro state (Top Business), of Bahia state (Business Prominence), of Pernambuco state (Business Highlight) and of Ceara state (Business Success), will be known.

5 Winners of Minas Gerais Excellence Award Inclusion of people with special needs in the workplace is encouraged by Gerdau Cosigua The Gerdau Cosigua steel mill, in Rio de Janeiro, qualified the first class of the course for steel mill process operator, offered exclusively for people with special needs. The objective of the initiative is to meet the increased demand for qualified professionals in the sector due to the growth of steel businesses in the region.

Modules on mathematics, the environment, citizenship and ethics were also taught. The initiative has the support of the Industry Social Service (Sesi) and of the National Service for Industrial Training (Senai). In 2007, vacancies for the new edition of the course will be opened.
