Sidenor Corporate Report 2019

51 Plan, which was launched in 2018 and will last for five years. In addition, we devote each year significant resources to the training of our professionals and provide them with tools such as career plans and continuous training, so that they may develop to their full potential and continue growing hand in hand with Sidenor. We also implement succession plans so that senior professionals might pass on their knowledge and experience to young hires. Thanks to these measures, we have become one of the ten companies with the best corporate reputation in the Basque Country and we want to further improve this performance in the future.
