Relationship with stakeholders

Closer to our partners

During the year, we held two meetings with suppliers that were designed to strengthen the relationship of the Company with its partners. During the events, surveys were conducted that will help us improve the current outsourcing process.

During the first meeting, held in August, 106 representatives of 60 partner companies in Espírito Santo and the south of Bahia attended. Among the subjects on the agenda, of particular importance was a mutual commitment to conduct activities to the highest standards of social responsibility and environmental care. During the second meeting held in November, 314 representatives of 230 service and raw materials employers participated, answering a questionnaire about numerous aspects of their relationship with the Company.
