Hello! 

Welcome to our bi-weekly newsletter, where we bring you the latest updates from  Votorantim and our portfolio companies, along with market insights and news.

Compliance Week

This month, we are hosting the 2024 Compliance Week, our annual event that brings together  leaders and professionals from across our portfolio companies for discussions and reflections  on compliance topics. The event kicked off on October 7th, featuring experts who shared  valuable insights on cybersecurity, information security, and best practices for staying safe  in the digital space. 

Several companies in our portfolio have also held events over the past few weeks. At Reservas Votorantim, there was a lecture focused on behavior and reputational risk. At our Center of  Excellence (CoE), the leadership team discussed best practices in information security, and  we held a Privacy Day, open to the public, addressing the responsible use of personal data  and the handling of confidential information. At CBA | Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio, the emphasis was on ethics and digital  behavior while Instituto Votorantim  explored the challenges of its Compliance Program. At Citrosuco, a week-long series of activities highlighted the program’s core pillars and the  importance of individual responsibility. 

In the coming weeks, other companies in our portfolio will be conducting events and  initiatives to further strengthen compliance practices within their operations.

GPTW Health Certification

CBA | Companhia Brasileira de Alumínio has earned the GPTW Health Certification, awarded for the first time by Great Place To  Work Brasil to companies with comprehensive health and wellness initiatives for their 

employees. Among the company’s actions is the “Por Você” program, which promotes well being through pillars focused on emotional, physical, and financial health. Additionally, the  company has established the “Health Space,” a facility in partnership with Hospital Sírio Libanês located within the Alumínio factory and the corporate office to serve employees’  health needs. 

Climate impact prevention 

Via Mobilidade, a subsidiary of the CCR Group has implemented new monitoring technology  to reduce the impact of climate events on its operations. Developed by Climatempo, the  system uses satellite data to track weather events such as lightning, strong winds, wildfires,  and heavy rainfall near the railway lines, sending alerts to the company’s teams and local fire  departments. This initiative is part of CCR Group’s climate resilience strategy, which was  launched in April.
