Message
from the CEO
CCR Group made important progress towards achieving
its strategic goals and growing in an officially recognized
manner in 2017, while maintaining capital discipline
and the integration of sustainability in all segments. We
have dedicated efforts to a major project to revisit our
organizational structure and therefore created four new
business areas: CCR Rodovias SP, CCR Rodovias BR,
CCR Mobilidade and CCR Aeroportos.
This configuration will be crucial in enabling us to acquire
new projects in the short and medium terms, and to make
the investments that Brazil so badly needs in infrastructure,
with the professionalism and commitment that mark our
trajectory of almost 20 years. The teams that are part of
these new areas are formed by current employees of
CCR Group, who are familiar with our values and
committed to overcoming new challenges.
The preparation and impressive qualifications of our
employees were essential in enabling us to reach this
new stage. We must remain firm in the strategy of training
and preparing our people so that they are ready to occupy
new positions as new opportunities emerge alongside
business growth.
The confidence of our shareholders is another key factor
that leverages our ability to start a new cycle of growth.
In 2017, we raised capital for CCR Group through a new
share offering that brought in R$ 4.07 billion, an important
resource for maintaining the company's solidity and financial
health.
Financial resources are essential for the realization of
investments in our concession units, and we must continue
to seek more competitive options for CCR Group. CCR
AutoBAn delivered the first phase of the Jundiaí Road
Complex (SP) last year, three months ahead of schedule,
an example of how we work to honor the commitments
assumed in the concessions.
In the second half of 2017, the Brazilian economy began to
show signs of recovery, indicating that the country may be
over one of the most serious crises in its history. The increase
in productive activity, which is important for generating value
in our business model, is already visible in the increase in
traffic on toll roads and the reduction of unemployment.
However, the resumption of economic growth still depends
on other factors such as the government's ability to approve
the reforms needed to adjust public spending and the
comeback of the investment capacity. It is for this reason that
the partnership with the private sector for the development of
infrastructure is so opportune and necessary for Brazil.
The growth of CCR Group therefore meets a very significant
demand in the country. Our cities depend on more modern
mobility systems and airports need to be modernized to
amplify the flow and generation of wealth.
Our way of operating and managing business serves the
interests of our main stakeholders, including shareholders,
grantor authorities and users. Investments made through
CCR Institute bring benefits for communities and contribute
to the social and economic development of the municipalities
in which we are present. Our corporate governance ensures
the highest level of compliance and transparency in our
management, guaranteeing ethics in all our activities.
Our success in implementing the strategy we have defined
is therefore in line with relevant global movements such
as the Global Compact principles and the achievement of
targets proposed by the Sustainable Development Goals, both
United Nations (UN) initiatives. With the commitment of all
our employees, the greatest strength of CCR Group, we will
continue to contribute to society for many more decades.
