Corporate
Governance
We understand that good corporate governance practices are a key driver of value for all stakeholders and a facilitator of solid and profitable financial results.
Our robust corporate governance is guided by four basic principles:
Transparency
Ensuring accurate and timely disclosure of the company’s financial position, performance, ownership, and corporate governance.
Fairness
Protecting the rights of all shareholders.
Corporate Responsibility
Recognizing the rights of all shareholders, encouraging cooperation between the organization and its shareholders to create jobs and sustainability.
Accountability
Reporting on the results of business operations, in accordance with assigned duties and responsibilities.
Our Board of Directors oversees the direction of the business and progress against its goals, including management’s handling of risks and impacts that could hinder the attainment of strategic and financial objectives.
All board members are appointed in the general shareholders’ meeting, which is held annually. Members are selected on the basis of their skills, industry knowledge, sustainability awareness, commitment to business philosophy and ethics, integrity, and other criteria.
Administration Board Structure
We also have an Executive Committee, in charge of guiding the company’s operations and strategic priorities, as well as economic, social and environmental issues. The committee is structured as follows:
