The Algar Group has adopted, for the first time, the international Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines version G3 – Level C, to report its main accomplishments and challenges that marked the Company’s latest fiscal year, as well as its perspectives that are supported by the vision of future, which are shared by all the companies that comprise the Algar Group.
The information contained herein covers the period between January 1st and December 31, 2011, and includes the performance of the Group’s nine subsidiaries, which operate in the industries of IT/Telecom (Algar Telecom, Algar Tecnologia, Algar Mídia and Engeset), Agribusiness (Algar Agro), Services (Algar Aviation, Algar Segurança and Comtec) and Tourism (Rio Quente Resorts). The financial data was prepared in compliance with the criteria established by the International Financial Accounting Standards (IFRS), and audited by KPMG Auditores Independentes. The social and environmental performance indicators were collected and validated internally only, that is, they were not submitted to external appraisal. The GRI indicators are displayed individually throughout the text and put together in a table of contents.
This Algar Group’s Annual Sustainability Report has been made available in electronic format only, and evidences in an objective and transparent manner that our innovative spirit and commitment to all three pillars of sustainability – economic, social and environmental – have translated into positive results for all our stakeholders: shareholders, associates, clients, suppliers, the community and government. To that end, the indicators and topics were selected based on their relevance regarding Algar Group’s business segments.
