Fighting COVID-19
Although the effects of
the health crisis subsided
over the course of 2021,
Votorantim maintained most
of its initiatives to support
communities in addition to
investing in new ones, such as
Tele ICU and Support for Public
Health Management (AGP,
for its initials in Portuguese),
conducted together with
the Brazilian National Bank
for Economic and Social
Development (BNDES, for its
initials in Portuguese).
Tele ICU benefited hospitals in
12 municipalities. Through this
project, doctors from BP-A
Beneficência Portuguesa de
São Paulo participated, virtually
and in real time, in the daily
visits to patients in intensive
care, exchanging knowledge
and sharing solutions with the
local doctors caring for them.
This not only provided better
care to the patients but also
helped develop the healthcare
professionals in these towns.
The AGP program offered
technical mentoring to
healthcare teams in the
40 municipalities where the
portfolio companies operate
and in another 40 locations
selected through a public
call for proposals carried out
in partnership with BNDES.
The objective was to provide
support to improve skills and
management processes to
help fight COVID-19 and offer
comprehensive healthcare.
During the year, the Municipal
Vulnerability Index (IVM, for its
initials in Portuguese) was also
updated to identify locations
with high levels of vulnerability
to enable not only the proper
allocation of resources, but
also the design of more
successful strategies to fight
the pandemic.
In 2021, the construction of
vaccine plants in the cities
of São Paulo and Rio de
Janeiro, a project that had
received financial support from
Votorantim in 2020, was also
completed.

VOTORANTIM
The Votorantim Institute, a center for intelligence applied to social and
environmental issues, revised its strategy in 2021. The objective was to
align with the challenges of the portfolio companies and leverage business
opportunities to create impact. In addition, the institute started to provide
other organizations with products and services that had already been
developed to serve the portfolio companies.
In 2021, the institute continued to create value for the portfolio by developing
ESG strategies for CBA, Nexa, and Citrosuco, including the development of
sustainable suppliers. It also created an impact strategy for the Associação
de Assistência à Criança Deficiente (AACD), an organization supported by the
Family Board.
One of the highlights was the launch of iV Ventures, an impact fund with
resources raised by the Votorantim Institute and the portfolio companies
that will be allocated to the identification of early-stage solutions developed
by start-ups in the area of low carbon economy, water and sanitation, and
social housing.
