For the company, sustainability guides all actions and decisions. The recognition is supported by the strategies that the company and its businesses carry out in sustainable investment, for which it analyzes controversial sectors and companies, integrates ESG criteria into its financial analysis, and actively promotes positive practices with the groups it interacts with.
