We have invested heavily on Social, Environmental and Governance issues, even before the acronym ESG gained prominence in the market. We are the only real estate developer company that, for five consecutive years, is part of the main index of the Brazilian stock exchange (B3) that recognizes and selects companies with positive social, environmental and governance practices, the ISE (Corporate Sustainability Index), we are signatories of the UN Global Compact since 2016, which aims to mobilize the international business community to adopt ESG measures based on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
