Novo Mercado

Its shares are traded since 2005 on the Novo Mercado, a segment of the B3, made up of companies which undertake to adopt practices of corporate governance additional to those required under the Brazilian legislation alone.

Companies must implement the new requirements by early 2021, and those superseding rules already in place, came into effect as from January 2018. The Company views these new requirements as a valuable contribution to its management and governance and is dedicating maximum effort in implementing the changes as soon as possible.
