Basic sanitation is one of the areas, which must be seen with greater attention, especially in a country where a lot of work still has to be done in terms of expanding the access to water, sewage collection and treatment. The seriousness assumed by Sabesp and the State Government concerning this issue, evidences that in São Paulo, sanitation is priority. After completing 40 years of history, Sabesp is increasingly modern, managing to combine large investments with the most advanced management. For this reason, the Company for instance, was able to assure in 2013 approximately 25% of total FAT (Worker Support Fund)/FGTS (Government Severance Indemnity Fund for Employees) payments transferred to the sector. Eighteen projects have been approved, totaling 1 billion Reais in budget destined to works in the capital city, Greater São Paulo, Santos coast region and inland. Another highlight, also due to a competent management, is the closer relation of technical and financial cooperation regarding the partnership with JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency). This is a partnership model, which has been allowing a continued structural expansion of relevant programs, besides improving practices directly reflected in the increase of efficiency, productivity and sustainability. Solid investments in reservation works, water mains, pumping stations, expansion of treatment in the metropolitan region and inland, which are resulting in greater supply safety. Since when the loss reduction program has been implemented in 2009 until the end of 2013, it managed to reduce sufficient volume to permanently serve a population of approximately 450,000 inhabitants. With the Water Rational Use Program (PURA), good consumption practices and equipment to reduce waste in public buildings were expanded only in 2013 to another 160 schools of state schools network. The Aquapolo Ambiental, implemented in partnership with Odebrecht, represents Sabesp’s concern with the sustainable development. Currently, it produces 450 liters/second of reuse water to wash warehouses and cool boilers. This volume represents 1.16 billion liters of water/month, corresponding to approximately 450 Olympic swimming pools with drinking water for industrial use every month, which supplies the municipalities. The volume is sufficient for consumption of a city of approximately 300,000 people. In the year declared by the United Nations (UN) as the International Year of Water Cooperation, Sabesp shows to be in line with society’s requirements, and it advances even more towards its universal services target. After all, quality water followed by sewage 3 Sustainability Report 2013 collection and treatment are essential services for everyone to have a respectable and healthy life and cities to develop on a sustainable basis, representing one of the greater legacies that a government may leave to the citizen. EDSON DE OLIVEIRA GIRIBONI Chairman of Sabesp Board of Directors 4 Sustainability Report 2013 ADVANCING TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY MESSAGE FROM THE CEO GRI 1.1 There can be no talk of health improvement, citizen well‐being and urban development without access to quality water and sewage collection and treatment. In 2013, when the Company could look back on four decades of history, Sabesp also celebrated a track record of effort in the supply of water and sewage collection and treatment in 363 municipalities in São Paulo State. An immediate result of our work is that fish reappeared in many rivers and, in 2014, all the cities’ urban areas operated in inland will have universal access to water. Then, the coast and Greater São Paulo, by the end of the decade, will have 100% of treated water, at least 95% of sewage collection and 100% of collected sewage treatment. We know that this is an ambitious, but absolutely necessary – not to say urgent – goal to be achieved and also know that much planning, structured programs, quality and efficient services, cutting‐edge engineering resources, and transparent governance will be required. With this target in mind, in 2013 we invested R$2.7 billion, a similar level to that of the past five years which is expected to be repeated over the next years. Sewage collection and treatment in the State reached average levels of 84% and 78%, respectively. Besides the advances towards the universalization in inland, in the capital we made progress in stream cleanup activities and moved forward with the execution of Tietê River Cleanup Project. In those cities encompassed by Santos coast region (“Baixada Santista”) and São Paulo State’s northern coast, we initiated the supplementary phase of the “Onda Limpa” (Clean Wave) Program, the major sanitation action underway in the Brazilian coast. Regarding water supply – one of our greatest challenges, since we operate in the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (“RMSP”), where the availability of water resources is very low, the great news is that a public‐private partnership (“PPP”) for São Lourenço Producing System was made. In addition, from 1995 to 2013, Sabesp invested R$9.3 billion to increase the São Paulo Metropolitan Region’s capacity of production, reservation, distribution and water loss reduction. Combined with huge works and investments, carrying out public awareness campaigns for rational water use is still needed. We experienced extreme climate phenomena in the 2013‐ 2014 summer, never recorded before in our recent history. The pluviometric indexes at the Cantareira System, the most important reservoir serving the São Paulo Metropolitan Region (RMSP), came below the historic average between October 2013 and February 2014. In December, an index 72% lower than the average was recorded. Consequently, in January and February it rained approximately 65% less than usually rains. The drought period combined with high records at thermometers resulted in the historical drop in the Cantareira System’s level. The population’s immediate response by reducing consumption was a determining factor among the actions to maintain the water delivery. 5 Sustainability Report 2013 By the way, approaching to society is one of our priorities. In 2013, I visited with our Officers 17 business units distributed throughout the State of São Paulo for accountability roadshows held with mayors and media relations of the municipalities serviced. As for the market, we were assigned the investment grade by Moody´s credit rating

M. Ferreira, Alberto A. Barreto, Bruna L. Aleixo CDTN - Centro de Desenvolvimento da Tecnologia Nuclear Av. Antônio Carlos 6627, Campus UFMG Belo Horizonte - MG - CEP: 31270-901 [email protected], [email protected] , [email protected] ABSTRACT The RMB – Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor is a project that will contribute decisively in order to develop the science and the technology of the country. However, the licensing process of this facility is not a simple task, since it involves nuclear and environmental questions. The utilization of geoprocessing tools became in the last years an important technique to aid the development of several studies, and will be necessary also in this project. The objective of this work is to present the first hydrological and geological geoprocessing studies done in order to support the future environmental licensing process of the facility. The results show that further efforts should be done since there is a lack of many data needed for the next steps. 1 - INTRODUCTION The RMB – Multipurpose Brazilian Reactor is a very important project that will accelerate the growth of the country in several areas, including health, engineering, science and technology, among others. It is valid to emphasize that its development also goes towards some of the goals of the actual

  • Making a Comeback: Initiate with OP
    Positivo Fred Mendes LatAm TMT 27 November 2019 7.610000000000 Making a Comeback: Initiate with OP Positivo is a personal computer and mobile phone company focused on the low- end market, with a ~75% market share in its niche, which is highly correlated to GDP. Our positive view is based on: (i) cyclical upturn in Brazil, with PC market set to 350 rebound 5% in 2020; (ii) public biddings’ pent up demand and (iii) growth avenues through Accept, Positivo’s server seller and HaaS (hardware as a service). 300 Its valuation is appealing at 5.3x EV/EBITDA for YE20, a 25% discount to global peers, but with higher growth and an opportunity to expand margins. 250 Initiate coverage with an Outperform rating and a R$9.50 TP for YE20. 200 We see Positivo as an appealing case to play potential macro recovery. The company is mainly focused on the sale of PCs/laptops (~60% of revenue) and mobile phones (~22% 150 of revenue). During Brazil’s economic crisis, the company held onto its market share despite a greater impact on its niche market: income classes “C” and “D” (~75% market 100 share). Now, with a potential macro recovery in Brazil, we expect that the overall PC/laptop market should grow by 5% in 2020, while Positivo should also gain market share as low- 50 income consumers tend to benefit the most from improvements in employment and GDP. Nov-18 Feb-19 May-19 Aug-19 Nov-19 Also, Positivo has new avenues of growth: Accept (a server seller) and HaaS (hardware as a service), which are reporting revenue growth at above 30%, vs.
