Corporate Governance
As part of the BM&FBOVESPA’s Novo Mercado, EcoRodovias adopts the best corporate governance practices and its activities are based on ethical behavior, accountability, transparency, justice and equality

In 2011, EcoRodovias’ Sustainability Guidelines were defined: it was yet another step for the Company to remain aligned with the best market practices.

The EcoRodovias Group, which is listed on the BM&FBOVESPA Novo Mercado, adopts the best corporate governance practices.

The group was composed of important governance bodies in 2011. The Board of Directors was made up of chairman Marco Antônio Cassou and six full members with a two-year term of office. Annually, the Board of Directors undergoes self-evaluation to improve with regard to efficiency and to define improvement plans. Five committees assist the Board with the analyses of its decisions: Governance, Audit, Personnel Management, Ethics and Corporate Sustainability.

For its part, the Board of Executive Officers is composed of six statutory officers elected by the Board of Directors to a two-year term of office, and it meets on a weekly basis. This Board is assisted by the following committees: Management through Processes, Corporate Risks, Information Technology and Security, Control and Disclosure of Material Information, Business Unit Sustainability, and Strategy and Management.

EcoRodovias and its highway concessions use indicators to monitor compliance with the norms required under ISO 9001, of quality; ISO 14001, of environmental management; and OHSAS 18001, pertaining to safety, hygiene and occupational health. These indicators are measured on a monthly basis by the Sustainability Coordinators of each highway concession. Of the 64 measurements conducted in 2011, EcoRodovias was successful in meeting 89% of them. In the seven areas where compliance was not achieved, corrective measures were put in place.

All of the Company’s relationships, practices and decisions are guided by the Group’s corporate policies – financial, disclosure and distribution of dividends policies. Furthermore the Sustainability Guidelines, defined in 2011, orient the Company’s activities regarding quality, Management through Processes, the environment, climate change, social responsibility, workplace health and safety, ombudsman and conflict of interest issues. EcoRodovias has a number of methodologies in place to identify, evaluate and monitor corporate risks, in step with the Risks Notebook of the IBGC as well as ISO 31000.
