we are people, wherever we are

Over the last few years, the role of the Local Human Resources Departments in the geographies in which we operate has amplified Nors' increasingly global focus. Today, with processes and guidelines defined by the central structure, the initiatives that take place locally gain strength, contributing to the Group's acting with a single voice.

The premise think global, act local is part of a narrative that gains pace as local teams increasingly coordinate and align themselves with this global vision, allowing us to scale competencies, projects and strategic guidelines more effectively.

In Canada, we are excited to be part of the Nors HR Implementation project, which will align our systems, processes and culture. Today, we have the foundation to collaborate with the global team to achieve our goals and implement these initiatives and strategies in each of our provinces. This environment of knowledge sharing, innovation and creativity breaks down geographical and cultural barriers, allowing us to align our principles with Nors' principles of honesty, integrity and respect. It is inspiring to be part of this global vision.

The current management model has transformed the Angola and Southern Africa HR Department into a local department with a global voice. This has allowed us to develop strategic projects, maintaining the identity of each geography and a greater empowerment of our people. This local vision, integrated into the whole that is the Nors world, gives us a greater sense of belonging to our origins and to our 90-year legacy. The history that brought us here is part of our DNA and the change and updating of our processes reveals our innovative spirit, of wanting to do more and, above all, better.

Today it is possible for all Nors stakeholders to participate at the level of their responsibilities, with their different and particular contribution, in the various corporate projects, namely in terms of remuneration policy, performance management models, mobility, training, talent and skills. Thus, we are able to pursue a common goal, which is the management and development of our people and talents so that, in this way, our employees are motivated and aligned to contribute to the growth of the business and of Nors.

Today, our operations are based on a central structure that allows us to manage the main guidelines and projects in the various countries, maintaining our principles, values, processes and, above all, promoting a unique culture - one of our greatest strengths. In turn, the local Human Resources Departments allow adaptation and customisation to the geographical context, respecting cultural aspects, the level of development, resources and legal regulations. They also play a fundamental role in providing feedback and suggestions that are always heard in the decisionmaking process.
