The path to our business growth has been taken in line with economic, social and environmental development
Investing in Brazil’s highway infrastructure in a sustainable manner is part of EcoRodovias’ business strategy and culture, with the focus on themes such as mobility, highway safety, support for regional development, innovations for the sector, climate change, governance and diversity, equity and inclusion. To achieve our goals, we adopt international corporate sustainability standards. Our stock is traded on B3’s Novo Mercado listing segment and we are part of important portfolios and indexes linked to environmental, social and governance practices such as ISE, ICO2 and IDiversa.
LEARN ABOUT OUR PATHS TO SUSTAINABILITY
We have structured the commitments made by EcoRodovias into an ESG agenda and outlined the sustainability pathways that will guide our journey through 2030. These are 10 pathways, with defined goals, to achieve our objectives in the environmental, social, and governance spheres.
To continue on this path towards sustainable development, which culminated in our 2030 ESG agenda, we consulted our internal audience and stakeholders to analyze our material topics, strategic vision, and risk map, as well as the Group’s sustainability policies and regulations. We also used the ESG goals of ASTM’s sustainability plan, our shareholder, as a reference, adapting its premises to the sectoral context, national regulations, and Brazil’s regional characteristics.
