Through the supply of credit, we play a transformative role in society, activating the economy in all regions of Brazil. Activities range from microcredit operations through to financial solutions for large corporations, capital markets and the government, with an especially prominent position in agribusiness lending.
For customers, Green Economy business models provide sustainable solutions that generate financial returns and bring social benefits, while helping to preserve the environment and reduce carbon emissions. Market requirements are considered in the planning and definition of the sectors for credit offerings, in the fundraising strategies and in the priority areas for action.
All initiatives are in line with the commitments of the Socio-environmental Responsibility Policy (PRSA) and the Sustainability Guidelines for Credit.

Our Corporate Governance shows our commitment to the basic principles of transparency, accountability, fairness and corporate responsibility. Trust is vital in relations with all stakeholders, especially shareholders and investors, and is critical for decisions to invest and, therefore, for attracting capital. We seek to positively influence this decision, demonstrating commitment to sustainable management that weighs up and protects the interests of all stakeholders, so that nobody benefits to the detriment of others.
Among the good practices adopted, we have had a collegiate decision-making model in place since 1995, through which all decisions, regardless of the internal level, are taken with the involvement of the representatives of the units and with the support of strategic committees for the definition of strategies and the approval of different businesses proposals.
In addition to having strategic policies in place and investing in compliance programs to try to ensure that all planned and approved actions are carried out properly, all units are responsible for ensuring the implementation of ethical guidelines. The employees are the protagonists and executors of the actions that make up the guidelines. In their day-to-day activities employees apply laws, regulations, standards, policies and procedures, observing principles of integrity, ethical conduct, efficiency and business sustainability.

By incorporating social-environmental factors into investment decisions and asset selection practices, we seek to reduce risks, increase financial returns and meet the expectations of customers and other stakeholders. Furthermore, our socio-environmental risk management also features items from the Credit, Socio-environmental Responsibility (PRSA) and Supplier Relations Policies and from the Sustainability Guidelines for Credit and the Social-environmental Guidelines for Controversial Issues.
Non-financial risks – arising from operating activities and the use of the resources necessary to deliver products and services to customers – can reduce, jeopardize or interrupt operations, as well as having the potential of generating contractual, regulatory and environmental liabilities with a negative impact on reputation. Likewise, emerging risks – arising from changes in the market or from changes in strategy that may trigger new risks – can become significant if their potential impact is increased by the interest in certain strategic objectives.
To manage these risks there are risk policies, standards, procedures, processes and management structures in place and we adopt methodologies to identify, measure, evaluate, monitor, report, control and mitigate them. In 2018, the model for identification and definition of the relevance of risks was reviewed, incorporating improvements in the classification and understanding of the relationship between the risks, the external and internal factors that cause them, and the link to the strategic objectives and the nature of the possible impacts.
