Governance

Our model operates ethically and transparently, respecting people, the community, and the law, while focusing on generating sustainable value.

Governance best practices strengthen operations, minimize risks, and direct the business's operational focus.

We are led by two major Brazilian business groups and by one of Canada's largest pension fund managers.

Led by Votorantim, Grupo Fischer, and PSP Investments, we are a private multinational company committed to creating sustainable value. Our operations adhere to best practices in corporate governance, guided by integrity, responsibility, and respect for people, communities, the law, and the environment.
