scenario and strategy
EcoRodovias’ business strategy is based on sustainable growth with the objective of becoming the largest integrated logistical infrastructure company in Brazil

EcoRodovias seeks sustainable growth by strengthening its actions in terms of logistics infrastructure, also investing in new synergies for its concessions.

The Federal Government plans to invest R$78.6 billion in the field of transportation through its Accelerated Growth Program (PAC). The performance of agricultural commodities for export in 2011 was better than in 2010, and the highways are the main way of bringing out this production.

EcoRodovias’ services are distributed in the main tourism and trade corridors and, as a result, the group is constantly improving the infrastructure of these complexes, offering users logistical solutions that eliminate bottlenecks and integrate activities of retroport terminal areas with distribution centers.

The group’s strategic plan focuses on the development of its employees’ welfare, quality of life and health programs along with incentives for studying and professional improvement. It seeks to reduce the consumption of natural resources and conducts environmental and cultural programs in public schools while reforesting areas alongside the highway systems it manages.

For the forthcoming years, it intends to expand its activities in the logistical infrastructure segment through new development opportunities and acquisitions of logistic assets that are integrated and synergetic with its highway concessions, as well as investing in port terminals and new highway concessions.

The Company can count upon the following: compliance management, to ensure adjustment and strengthening of its internal controls, compliance with laws, rules and the dissemination of the culture and controls of the Business Code of Conduct and good practices; Internal Auditing, based on an independent and outsourced body that reports directly to the Board of Directors; and the Executive Committee for the Management of Risks, Compliance and Internal Controls, with attributions of identifying and monitoring the risks, effectiveness of internal controls and non-compliance.

EcoRodovias’ business strategy is based on sustainable growth, and the goal is to transform it into the largest integrated logistical infrastructure company in Brazil.
