MESSAGES ABOUT THE REPORT THE CCR GROUP STRATEGY AND OPPORTUNITIES BUSINESS MODEL SERVICES TOLL ROADS URBAN MOBILITY AIRPORTS OUTLOOK Excellence in innovation and technology The pursuit of innovation and the incorporation of new technologies, focused on increasing efficiency, cutting costs and enhancing user satisfaction, is a central point of attention in CCR Group's management. To this end, the performance of the Shared Services Center units is strategically important in adding innovative solutions to all businesses. Information security is of prime importance as the Group's control systems are digital and integrated. CCR EngelogTec acts on this front, adopting strict security standards in order to guarantee operational integrity. Moreover, employees are continuously instructed, through training sessions and internal campaigns, to behave appropriately when using online platforms and equipment. In the cyber-attack of May 2017, when several companies from different areas were affected by the WannaCry virus, CCR EngelogTec acted promptly and managed to prevent any impact on CCR Group. Since January 1, users of the toll roads operated by CCR Group have been receiving the Documento Fiscal Equivalente (DFE document equivalent to a tax invoice), whereby it is possible to enter personal information on the website of the concessionaires in order to receive a toll charge receipt for tax purposes. The implementation of the new system involved joint work undertaken by several areas of the Shared Services Centers, including the Legal, Communication and Planning departments of all units. As a result, CCR Group now fulfills the new requirement of the Internal Revenue Service, consistent with the guidelines of Associação Brasileira de Concessionárias de Rodovias (Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires - ABCR). The service provided to users will maintain the same efficiency, expeditiousness and security, allowing the substitution of the toll charge receipt after the end of the trip. The search for innovations and new constructive methods is also a constant feature in the Group's business development and growth. To this end, the performance of the Road Research Center (CPR) of CCR Engelog is strategic and brings advantages from the point of view of cost reduction and environmental gains, making it possible to incorporate new technologies into operations on an ongoing basis. Team readiness and investments in new projects generate benefits for the integrity of operations, user comfort, and the environment 26 +4644456x Rodovias Conectadas Eu e ele estamos aqui pra te explicar como funciona o projeto Rodovias Conectadas. Partnership for the sake of users The Rodovias Conectadas (Connected Toll Roads) project, a partnership between CCR Group and the mobility application Waze, demonstrates the pursuit of innovation focused on user satisfaction. With this tool, drivers using the app can now receive important information to plan their trip on the toll roads managed by the Group, such as the location of the toll plazas and respective toll prices, the location of the SOS Usuário (emergency assistance for road users) bases and emergency telephones. Started in late 2016 as a pilot project at CCR ViaOeste, Rodovias Conectadas is gradually being extended to other units. Some of the main initiatives and projects carried out in 2017 are the use of construction and demolition waste to build pavements, the application of rejuvenating agents that allow pavement recycling and the search for more sustainable alternative materials for use in viaduct and bridge expansion joints, road signs and repairs. Other technologies, such as rubberized asphalt and warm mix asphalt, which reduce greenhouse gas emissions, are already fully incorporated into the activities of the units. CCR Engelog also worked in 2017 to implement the Vetor project, with the objective of improving project and investment management processes, with a focus on improving the performance model and boosting innovation.
