Cedro is one of the oldest publicly traded companies in Brazil. Its shares have been listed in B3’s Level I of Corporate Governance since 2003. In 2011, we adhered to the “ABRASCA Code of Self-Regulation and Good Practices of Publicly Held Companies.”

The company’s control is performed through a Shareholders’ Agreement. Cedro’s strong governance structure comprises the following bodies: the Annual Shareholders’ Meetings, the Board of Directors and the Executive Board.

Their performance is independent and decentralized, with no overlapping of positions. The Chairman of the Board does not have an executive role in the company. This body has 3 committees: the Audit, Risk Management and Strategy Committee, the Governance and Compliance Committee and the Compensation, Assessment and Succession Committee. The meetings for assessment of our performance, risks, and opportunities are held weekly by the executive board, and monthly by the Board of Directors.

Also noteworthy is our Code of Conduct, established in 2005, which guides the beliefs, values and behaviors adopted in our company. Its compliance is ensured by the Conduct Committee, which is predominantly made up of company employees.
