Nucor Corporation

Nucor makes a promise to be environmentally conscious to its 11,500 employees and to the
rural communities where plants are generally located. The company has adopted the slogan
“Nucor – It’s our Nature” and promotes this philosophy with its emphasis on recycling. This
dedication has contributed to Nucor’s success as the largest steel recycler in the nation. Each
year a quantity of scrap steel in excess of 14 million tons is recycled.

As the nation’s largest steel producer, Nucor can trace its origin to Ransom E. Olds, founder of
Oldsmobile and REO Motor Cars. Nucor has been able to remain a growing profitable steel and
steel products producer because Nucor’s work force is strongly committed to Nucor’s basic
philosophy—to build steel manufacturing facilities economically and to operate them productively.
