On the other hand, we also established our flight plan for 2020, setting out the Avianca vision and mission, which are centered around the customer as both the beginning and end of our service strategy. In 2016 we reinforced our governance and our conduct towards our stakeholders. We are implementing a new risk management model based on three lines of defense, namely responsibility, clear processes and the intensive use of technology, which together enable us to be sure that we are doing what is correct and doing it well. The organization has appreciated that the key to sustainable management that generates value for all our stakeholders lies in relating with them strategically, with a view to achieving our goals. Avianca thus becomes a transformation agent for the societies where it operates by contributing economic, social and environmental value, thereby illustrating its excellent corporate citizen status. Sustainability is present in every one of the decisions we make as professionals and individuals, so that it becomes a hallmark of our organization. To achieve this, the most important thing is for each of us to be conscious of this need and to consider the consequences of what his or her own conduct is having and will have on the Organization, on society, and on his or her family. 2015 and 2016 have been years that have brought major global challenges in the field of sustainability, especially in the context of the Paris Summit climate change agreement and the Sustainable Development Objectives (SDO). We at Avianca are convinced that the best way to achieve our goals is to do so in a sustainable manner, generating value not only for the Company but Hernán Rincón for all society. This is why we have an approach to work that has to adapt to present and future challenges and trends and should contribute to global agendas. The causes of climate change have their direct origin in human and organizational activities, and we should therefore responsibly administer our impacts. We recognize that the Sustainable Development Objectives (SDO) form a global agenda down to 2030, and here the way in which the material matters presented in this report are managed undoubtedly contributes greatly, and will continue to do so. We will be ready to work as a team with the governments of the countries where we operate, with civil society and with the private sector, in order to ensure that these objectives are met and that we leave the new generations the legacy we hope for. 2016 Management Report• Avianca Holdings S.A. 3 Contents 8 ABOUT THIS REPORT 24 PERFORMANCE BY SEGMENT 24 Passenger Transportation 25 Cargo Transportation 10 WORLD AIR TRANSPORTATION 25 Deprisa MARKET ENVIRONMENT 28 Other lines of business 10 International Passenger Market 29 Where we operate 11 Domestic Passenger Market 30 The past, driving force for the future 11 Air Cargo Transportation Market 32 Our Integrated Management System 34 Awards and Certifications 12 ABOUT AVIANCA HOLDINGS S.A. 12 Corporate Profile, Avianca Holdings S.A. 36 OUR CORPORATE STRATEGY 12 Nature of the Company and legal status 36 To fly higher 13 Companies which make up Avianca Holdings S.A. 37 Our Strategic North to 2020 14 Significant changes in 2016 38 Our responsible and sustainable management 14 2016 Avianca Holdings S.A. performance strategy 14 Financial and Operations Results 40 In line with international standards and initiatives 15 Passenger Airline operation indicators 40 Alliances for Sustainability 15 Integrated airlines improve their market position 40 Strategic Relations 16 International Market 16 Domestic markets (Colombia, Peru and Ecuador) 46 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 46 Avianca Holdings S.A.
