Organizational Climate Management
WEG conducted its first Workplace Climate Survey in 2011, led by an external company, establishing the foundation for structured monitoring of employee engagement. Since 2014, the internal survey has been applied every two years, serving as a systematic tool for collecting data on engagement levels.
In alternating years, the Managerial Competency Assessment is carried out, incorporating recurring leadership‑related questions from the survey. This model ensures annual monitoring of actions that promote workplace climate and allows improvements to be implemented with excellence, especially in executing development initiatives, reinforcing the high‑performance culture.

Code of Ethics
The WEG Code of Ethics plays an important role in establishing the conduct expected from our employees and other stakeholders, as well as in reinforcing WEG's commitment to promoting a culture of respect for others.
Promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Understanding the importance of the role of leaders for Diversity and Inclusion, WEG has a training module in the Leadership Academy dedicated to the topic.
The WEG Leadership Academy is part of the Leadership Development Program, which aims at providing new leaders with immersion in the WEG culture and point out the importance of their role in the people management process.
In addition to the training module at the Leadership Academy, lectures and workshops have been held to engage and raise awareness among managers.
Training on the WEG Code of Ethics for all employees also encompasses issues of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Qualification Program for people with disability
Aware of the challenges and needs for continuous evolution on different fronts of diversity and inclusion, WEG has been developing important initiatives to improve inclusion management of people with disabilities.

Collective Agreements
Trade union relations are highly relevant in corporate management, going beyond mere compliance with legal obligations to promote dialogue, balance, and stability in labor relations. They play an important role in valuing human capital and in adapting standards to regional specificities. Responsible corporate conduct in this environment contributes to the mitigation of labor risks, business sustainability, and the generation of long-term value, strengthening organizational competitiveness.
Approximately 95% of employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Development and Qualification
WEG promotes the continuous development of its employees and interns through structured programs of technical and behavioral qualification. Through the WEG Education platform, accessible to all employees, a wide variety of courses are offered in the areas of Technology, Systems and Processes, Health and Safety, and Behavioral. These contents, available in online, in-person, and distance formats, strengthen adaptation to new technologies and the use of digital tools in everyday work.
The training programs are aligned with the needs of the current position or preparation for future positions, directly contributing to the sustainable growth of the organization. A large part of the training is developed and delivered by experienced employees, which values internal talents, promotes the dissemination of organizational knowledge, and strengthens bonds between new and experienced professionals, creating a collaborative environment of continuous learning.
Among the qualification, development, and training programs offered by WEG, the following stand out: QPOP – Professional Qualification of Production Operators, QPET – Professional Qualification of Engineers and Technologists, QPSS – Professional Qualification in Six Sigma, and WAIUP – WEG Artificial Intelligence Upskilling Program, in addition to educational assistance, in-company postgraduate programs, and the WEG Language Program, which provides a learning platform accessible to all employees.
Through the Six Sigma training program, 455 improvement projects were implemented in 2022, and 595 improvement projects in 2023 and 2024.
WEG also continuously invests in the development of its leaders through the Leadership Academy. This initiative promotes programs focused on talent growth at all hierarchical levels, ranging from professionals identified as future leaders to executives. The main goal is to enhance leaders’ performance, consistently aligning them with the company’s mission, vision, values, and culture. For this purpose, each management level has a personalized Development Program, based on the Leadership Pipeline model and WEG’s Managerial Competencies. In this way, we prepare our leaders for the strategic challenges of the different stages of the organizational journey.
