Algar Agro is a closed capital company, which adopts professional management practices to the same standards as open companies, according to the corporate governance principles of the Algar Group. The Company has decided to publish its first Annual Sustainability Report with the aim of bringing closer, and making more transparent, its relationship with stakeholders.
This report is prepared according to the international rules of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), version G3 – level C, and it details the accomplishments and challenges of the Company during the last year, as well as the outlook, according to the future vision adopted by all the companies in Grupo Algar. Data is for the year ending in December 2011.
Its financial reporting is prepared according to Brazilian accounting practices and consolidated according to international rules for financial reports (IFRS) issued by the International Financial Accounting Standards (IASB). The financial reports were audited by KPMG Independent Auditors. Social and environmental performance indicators were gathered and validated internally, and were not subject to external audit. GRI indicators have been signalled throughout the report and consolidated in an index.
Prepared only in electronic form, Algar Agro’s Annual Sustainability Report shows clearly and objectively that innovation and commitment to sustainability in all its spheres – economic, social and environmental, will deliver positive results to all its stakeholders: clients, suppliers, community and government. Indicators and themes were selected according to their relevance to Algar Agro’s activities.
