SUstaiNABILITY REPORT 2013 3 Dear Reader, The 2013 Sustainability Report presents AMAGGI’s economic, environmental, and social performance and describes the evolution of its business strategy, which generates and distributes value across the company’s relationship chain and con- tributes to sustainable development. In addition to the year’s results, the report provides an outlook for 2014 and for the coming fiscal years. With the theme “HERE I CREATE MY HISTORY,” the motto of the campaign devel- oped in 2013 by AMAGGI, this edition features the testimonials of those who are building the company’s successful history. Published annually, the report is prepared based on the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), an international organization that established the sus- tainability report standard most widely adopted by companies in different sectors worldwide. As with its most recent edition, adherence to the principles of this methodology and accuracy of the information presented were submitted for as- surance by GRI. Based on G4, the version recently launched by GRI, the content of the report was developed based on discussions with the various stakeholders in our value chain, which resulted in the choice of nine material topics – considered a priority in sustainability-focused management – and in a structured engagement plan that identified AMAGGI’s main relationship stakeholders in 2013 (read more in Dialogue and Engagement). The indicators reported here are those that address essential issues for the stra- tegic stakeholders and for AMAGGI’s Senior Executives. The answers may be found in the GRI Table of Contents on page 124. In addition, they are identified in the texts in which they are found, preceded by “G4.” The report is a means of providing accountability and improving communication with the main stakeholders identified. The publication, in addition to the print and online versions in English and Portuguese, includes an abridged version with the main highlights of the year.
