As part of our commitment to transparency, the Indicators Center includes main sustainability performance indicators of Votorantim Cimentos, including Material Topics & Sustainable Development Goals, Global Reporting Initiative and Global Cement and Concrete Association Charter and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board.
MATERIAL TOPICS & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDG)
Through the engagement of our stakeholders, we define organization material topics and linked our performance to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Due to the nature of its production processes, the cement industry is among the world’s largest emitters of CO2. Climate change and CO2 management are at the heart of the organization’s strategy, and managing climate-related risks and opportunities is critical to business sustainability.
THIS MEANS knowing and assessing the risks and opportunities related to extreme climate changes, such as severe rains and droughts, and adapting to this environment, as well as managing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption by replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources.

Ensuring high standards of compliance, ethics and transparency is the path to excellence and a non-negotiable value for Votorantim Cimentos.
THIS INCLUDES maintaining a Compliance Programthas is based on our Code of Conduct, applies to the entire company, covers all our obligations and establishes a solid system of report integrity violations.

| Operations assessed (%) | Significant corruption-related risks identified through this assessment | |
| 2020 | 25% | For VCBR, the Compliance area performed a pilot Anti-Corruption Risk Assessment including two specific areas and exposures in relationships with the Government. For the other regions, the Compliance area maintained the continuous selfassessment of its Compliance Program at a global level, including the Anti- Corruption pillar. The self-assessment of several areas of the company aims to provide insight into the maturity level of the pillars of the Compliance Program of Votorantim Cimentos through an integrated and consolidated perspective, while also guiding the strategy and priority actions to strengthen and improve compliance in the coming years |
| 2021 | 50% | Even though our core business is not related to commercial transactions with governments, at Votorantim Cimentos, like any other legal entity, interactions with the public sector are part of the company’s inherent activities. Therefore, in addition to the compliance evaluations incorporated into the company’s daily processes (for example, integrity assessments of M&A partners and critical third parties, as well as risk assessments for new business models), at VCBR and VCEAA we carried out specific anti-corruption assessments. At VCBR, we mapped all the interactions with the public sector, which enabled us to qualify them, assess our level of control over them, identify the parties involved and train them on anticorruption issues. This mapping confirmed an original perception regarding the absence of significant risks related to corruption and served as a resource to inform integrity processes. At VCEAA, because of the diverse legal framework in the region, we carried out an anti-corruption risk assessment that focused on mapping and evaluating each country’s legislation; we also did a self-assessment of our Compliance Program, including the Anti-Corruption pillar. In the other regions, the Compliance area continued to work on priority issues/gaps identified in previous self-assessments, including anti-corruption training and the background check process. |
| 2022 | 50% | Although our main activity is not related to commercial transactions with governments, at Votorantim Cimentos, like any other legal entity, interactions with the public sector are part of the company’s inherent activities. Therefore, in addition to compliance assessments incorporated into the company’s daily processes – for example, integrity assessment of partners for M&A operations or critical third parties, as well as risk assessment for new business models – VC annually performs a specific risk assessment anti-corruption for its operations. In 2022, assessments were carried out for VCBR and VCNA. For VCBR, a risk heatmap was drawn up for the units considering three aspects (i) employee profile (e.g. profile for using the Ethics Line, remuneration and performance data that may lead to rationalization of actions; existence of conflicts of interest; adherence Compliance training, potential fraudster profile, etc); (ii) unit profile (eg: level of interaction with public authorities, environmental risks, performance and level of presence in the municipality, etc); and (iii) third-party profile (eg: purchasing autonomy for the units, contracting critical services, dependence on suppliers, supplier integrity profile). For VCNA, a complete map of interactions with the public sector was drawn up for two specific areas with greater exposure to the relationship with the Public Power. The work allowed qualifying these interactions; assess the level of control over them; and also provide feedback on cross-cutting anti-corruption processes, such as (i) better identifying and training those responsible in anti-corruption issues; (ii) support a study to reassess third-party risk categories, among others. The mapping corroborated the previous perception of the absence of significant risks related to corruption. For the other regions, the Compliance area continued to work on priority topics/gaps raised in previous selfassessments, such as anti-corruption training and the background check process.

These risks are determined after a systematic study of the processes and assessment of the hazards and risks involved.
Creating a diverse, ethical and inclusive environment involves respect for human rights and equal opportunity for all people, regardless of their characteristics or options.
THIS MEANS having a diverse and inclusive work environment, without discrimination based on gender, race, social origin, sexual orientation, etc. in governance bodies and among employees and contractors.
Impacts: reputation, costs and revenues.

| Operations assessed (%) | Significant corruption-related risks identified through this assessment | |
| 2020 | 25% | For VCBR, the Compliance area performed a pilot Anti-Corruption Risk Assessment including two specific areas and exposures in relationships with the Government. For the other regions, the Compliance area maintained the continuous selfassessment of its Compliance Program at a global level, including the Anti- Corruption pillar. The self-assessment of several areas of the company aims to provide insight into the maturity level of the pillars of the Compliance Program of Votorantim Cimentos through an integrated and consolidated perspective, while also guiding the strategy and priority actions to strengthen and improve compliance in the coming years |
| 2021 | 50% | Even though our core business is not related to commercial transactions with governments, at Votorantim Cimentos, like any other legal entity, interactions with the public sector are part of the company’s inherent activities. Therefore, in addition to the compliance evaluations incorporated into the company’s daily processes (for example, integrity assessments of M&A partners and critical third parties, as well as risk assessments for new business models), at VCBR and VCEAA we carried out specific anti-corruption assessments. At VCBR, we mapped all the interactions with the public sector, which enabled us to qualify them, assess our level of control over them, identify the parties involved and train them on anticorruption issues. This mapping confirmed an original perception regarding the absence of significant risks related to corruption and served as a resource to inform integrity processes. At VCEAA, because of the diverse legal framework in the region, we carried out an anti-corruption risk assessment that focused on mapping and evaluating each country’s legislation; we also did a self-assessment of our Compliance Program, including the Anti-Corruption pillar. In the other regions, the Compliance area continued to work on priority issues/gaps identified in previous self-assessments, including anti-corruption training and the background check process. |
| 2022 | 50% | Although our main activity is not related to commercial transactions with governments, at Votorantim Cimentos, like any other legal entity, interactions with the public sector are part of the company’s inherent activities. Therefore, in addition to compliance assessments incorporated into the company’s daily processes – for example, integrity assessment of partners for M&A operations or critical third parties, as well as risk assessment for new business models – VC annually performs a specific risk assessment anti-corruption for its operations. In 2022, assessments were carried out for VCBR and VCNA. For VCBR, a risk heatmap was drawn up for the units considering three aspects (i) employee profile (e.g. profile for using the Ethics Line, remuneration and performance data that may lead to rationalization of actions; existence of conflicts of interest; adherence Compliance training, potential fraudster profile, etc); (ii) unit profile (eg: level of interaction with public authorities, environmental risks, performance and level of presence in the municipality, etc); and (iii) third-party profile (eg: purchasing autonomy for the units, contracting critical services, dependence on suppliers, supplier integrity profile). For VCNA, a complete map of interactions with the public sector was drawn up for two specific areas with greater exposure to the relationship with the Public Power. The work allowed qualifying these interactions; assess the level of control over them; and also provide feedback on cross-cutting anti-corruption processes, such as (i) better identifying and training those responsible in anti-corruption issues; (ii) support a study to reassess third-party risk categories, among others. The mapping corroborated the previous perception of the absence of significant risks related to corruption. For the other regions, the Compliance area continued to work on priority topics/gaps raised in previous selfassessments, such as anti-corruption training and the background check process.

Compulsory and child labor are issues included the Votorantim Cimentos Code of Conduct, which addresses our commitment to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Global Compact and has among its principles to eliminate all forms of forced or compulsory labor and eradicate all forms of child labor from our production chain. These practices are prohibited in all company and commercial partners’ facilities. It is also prohibited to hire any organization that does not follow our Company’s conduct guidelines. This issue is also addressed in the event of complaints to our Business Ethics Office, which is prepared to carry out investigations and verify the materiality of the complaint. All the suppliers contracted must be submitted to the registration process. The Office of Labor (within the Ministry of Economy) Restricted List is cross-checked with our SAP list of suppliers. If there is evidence of misconduct, the supplier is demobilized and blocked to prevent future hiring. The Votorantim Cimentos General Conditions Term states that all suppliers must follow our Code of Conduct (ethics, values and compliance with labor legislation). Through the new SIPM tool, suppliers must accept our General Conditions Term; otherwise they are rejected in the certification process. They must also fill out a Compliance Survey, in which they need to address several topics, including child labor. If the survey answers are unsatisfactory, the supplier is submitted for analysis by the Compliance area and may be rejected in the certification process. |

²Scope: VCBR. According to the “Votorantim Cimentos Biodiversity Management Plan Manual”, the identification of areas of high biodiversity value considers three factors: (i) The importance of the area of high biodiversity relevance overlapping with the mining area; (ii) The percentage of overlap between the area of high biodiversity relevance and the mining area (considering a 5-km radius from the center of the mine); (iii) The distance of the area of high biodiversity relevance to the mining center. We apply the methodology and rank all areas that are close to or overlap with areas of high biodiversity value, according to these criteria.

¹The rate was calculated considering the GRI standards: (Number of fatalities as a result of work-related injury/Number of hours worked) *1,000,000 hours.
²The number and rate of high-consequence accidents include amputations or six-month leave of absence and exclude deaths. Rates were calculated based on 1,000,000 hours worked.
³The number and rate of accidents consider only lost-time incidents. Rates were calculated based on 1,000,000 hours worked.
Among employees, the main work-related injuries involve the ankles, feet, hands and fingers, and include sprains and fractures. The greatest risks for high-consequence injuries are dangerous energies, moving and rotating parts, high temperatures, possibility of hot flour leakage, movement of machines and equipment, lifting of loads and activities at height and in confined spaces. These risks are determined after a systematic study of the processes and assessment of the hazards and risks involved.

According to the “Votorantim Cimentos Biodiversity Management Plan Manual”, the identification of areas of high biodiversity value considers three factors: (i) The importance of the area of high biodiversity relevance overlapping with the mining area; (ii) The percentage of overlap between the area of high
biodiversity relevance and the mining area (considering a 5-km radius from the center of the mine); (iii) The distance of the area of high biodiversity relevance to the mining center. We apply the methodology and rank all areas that are close to or overlap with areas of high biodiversity value, according to these criteria.

Scope: VCBR, VCNA, VCEAA and Bolivia. Figures do not include Uruguay operations, except for number of fatalities.
¹The rate was calculated considering the GRI standards: (Number of fatalities as a result of work-related injury/Number of hours worked) *1,000,000 hours.
²The number and rate of high-consequence accidents include amputations or six-month leave of absence and exclude deaths. Rates were calculated based on 1,000,000 hours worked.
³The number and rate of accidents consider only lost-time incidents. Rates were calculated based on 1,000,000 hours worked.
4The rate of near accidents was calculated based on 2,000,000 hours worked.
Among employees, the main work-related injuries involve the ankles, feet, hands and fingers, and include sprains and fractures. The greatest risks for high-consequence injuries are dangerous energies, moving and rotating parts, high temperatures, possibility of hot flour leakage, movement of machines and equipment, lifting of loads and activities at height and in confined spaces. These risks are determined after a systematic study of the processes and assessment of the hazards and risks involved.
