Sustainability Report 2021 Vivara

Investors 102-10 Employees 103-2 | 103-3 We stood out in the annual Latin Amer- ica Executive Team survey conducted by the Institutional Investor. The survey gathers opinions from analysts, invest- ment managers, and executives from financial institutions worldwide to pick the best investor relations initiatives, the best IR professionals in each sector and region, and the best environmental, social, and governance practices and strategies. We stood out in the catego- ries of Best Investor Relations Program, Best IR Professional, and Best ESG Strategy in the Retail Small Caps sector. In the overall industry ranking, we were placed sixth among Latin American re- tail companies and third among Brazil- ian retail companies. Vivara has 42% of its outstanding shares diluted and 58% held by the controlling group shareholders, with 236,197,769 common shares listed in the Novo Mercado, the highest level of Corporate Governance of B3 - Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão S.A. (B3), under the tick- er VIVA3. At the end of 2021, we had 39,770 shareholders in our sharehold- ing base, a 27.1% increase since the IPO in October 2019, consisting mainly of individuals. In 2021, the capital market was also af- fected by the uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Being in a highly penalized sector, VIVA3 shares devalued by 10.5% (adjusted for corporate events), while the Ibovespa index declined 11.8%, reaching the market value of R$6.1 bil- lion on December 30. Average daily fi- nancial trading volume of Vivara shares was R$30.9 million in 2021. Vivara shares are included in the fol- lowing eight B3 indices: IBRA (Brazil Broad-Based Index), ICON (Consumer Stock Index), IGCT (Cor- porate Governance Trade Index), IGCX (Special Corporate Governance Stock Index), IGNM (Novo Mercado Corporate Governance Index), INDX (Industrials Index), ITAG (Special Tag-Along Stock Index), and SMLL (Small Cap Index). We know that all of our results for our customers, investors, and society de- pend on the dedication of our teams. In this sense, we seek to provide fair and healthy work environments, creat- ing processes that meet our strategic goals and provide positive experiences for employees. These aspects became even more important in a year of Vivara's strong expansion, where we increased our workforce by 21%. Especially at the factory, this increase was 50%. With confidence in our values, we contin- ued to invest in people, maximizing their opportunities and always ensuring san- itary conditions for the performance of their duties with safety and recognition. Throughout 2021 we reassessed our people plan, which becomes better structured in 2022. We reshaped pro- cesses, such as the career and succes- sion cycle, to create meritocracy win- dows within the company, opportunities for internal development and external talent attraction programs. More than half of the current sales managers were promoted internally. We focus on continuous improvement to pursue the increase of our employ- ee satisfaction index (eNPS), measured based on criteria aligned to renowned methodologies and certifications, eval- uating aspects related to work environ- ment, organizational atmosphere, and people management. Seeking to reduce our turnover, a challenge in the retail sector, we carry out monthly follow-ups with clippings and stratification to find root causes. In this way, we can discard seasonality effects and establish ac- tions considering specific publics. 42 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021 VIVARA SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2021 VIVARA 43
