WE VIEW CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AS THE CORNERSTONE OF TRUST IN ALL OUR INTERACTIONS.
Governance mechanisms ensure that strategic decision-making follows a structured process, aligning the company’s purpose and objectives with the expectations and perspectives of our stakeholders.
Additionally, our internal audit department reports directly to the Chairman and is dedicated to continuously improving our internal control practices.
GOVERNANCE BODIES
Shareholders’ Meeting
The Shareholders’ Meeting of Cimento Nacional, which includes Buzzi S.p.A., represents the company’s highest authority. It convenes annually within the first four months following the fiscal year or as necessary.
Its responsibilities include approving the company’s annual financial statements, deciding on profit allocation and dividend distribution, and electing the members of the Board of Directors.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors consists of six primary members, elected during the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting for a unified three-year term, with the option of re-election. Its main function is to guide the company’s business strategy, oversee performance, and ensure compliance with its Articles of Incorporation.
Advisory Operational Committee
This committee consists of three full members and three alternates, each serving a one-year term with the option for re-election. Its main function is to advise the Board of Directors on technical matters and new projects related to the company and its subsidiaries. This includes collecting technical information and carrying out on-site visits. Regular committee meetings are held quarterly.
Internal Audit
The Internal Audit department proposes and implements the annual internal audit plan based on the company’s risk assessment. This involves identifying and managing risks, conducting control tests, defining corrective actions, and monitoring action plans that result from internal audits. The department reports directly to the Chairman and the Board of Directors of Nacional Cimentos Participações S.A. It maintains ongoing collaboration with Buzzi S.p.A.’s Internal Audit team while ensuring the independent functioning of both.
Executive Board
The Executive Board consists of seven members elected by the Board of Directors for three-year terms, with the option for re-election. As outlined in its Articles of Incorporation, the Board handles all management activities necessary for running the company.
Key responsibilities include implementing decisions made by the Board of Directors and the Shareholders’ Meeting, preparing and proposing the annual consolidated budget and business plan for the company and its subsidiaries, and officially representing the company both legally and operationally.
CODE OF CONDUCT
People are the essence of a company. It is through relationships built on trust that they drive the engine of our activities.
By joining our organization, employees not only gain an understanding of their rights and responsibilities, but above all commit to strengthening and embodying the company’s values, turning them into concrete actions.
With the mission of sustaining the development of society, we aim to be a solid reference in the Brazilian cement market. Guided by ethical values, the Code of Conduct clearly defines what is right, what is considered acceptable or tolerable, and, conversely, what requires correction or is unacceptable.
The Code is an essential guide for everyone, both long-standing employees and newcomers. We encourage regular reading and consultation, fostering a continuous cycle of ethical growth.
Anti-Corruption Code
The Anti-Corruption Code is a fundamental part of our daily routine, guiding our actions, behaviors, and decisions across all areas of our units. Through our daily commitment and transparency, we can build a future grounded in ethics, respect, and excellence.
Cimento Nacional complies with anti-corruption laws, ensuring that all contractors are committed to acting in accordance with the legal standards and constitutional principles that govern the market.
