Over the years, the Even has built a path towards the sustainability of our business, which has become Company's foundation to grow and consolidate in the country's civil construction segment. This approach  has enabled to add value to our brand and combine our products with strength, innovation, and quality concepts. We are committed to follow sustainable principles into each of our decisions, routines, management and business units, keeping operational efficiency and reducing the impact of our activities on all links in the chain. We are proud to be pioneers in ESG practices in the real estate market and to be recognized for it.

Currently, we reuse 98% of the waste generated in our works by sending it to Transshipment and Screening Areas and Recycling Plants. In 2021, all works delivered were Carbon Neutralized, and we will keep this guideline for the coming years. Our inventory is certified, ensuring transparency and credibility. We were the first company in the segment to carry out a carbon inventory – a process that started in 2008. These are examples of how Even takes sustainability seriously.

To further improve our practices, in 2021, we implemented the Sustainability Committee, which started concentrating the control of processes for sustainability in the internal operations and supplier agreements, including verification by external audit. Another initiative was the establishment of an internal department for new technologies aimed at prospecting materials with low environmental impact, more efficiency and identifying new technologies that provides more well-being and quality of life to our customers and encourage the adoption of sustainable initiatives by all our stakeholders.

We also developed the “Problema Zero” tool, which seeks to identify and solve post-delivery adjustment needs and incorporate these changes into new projects, constantly improving our construction practices and delivering an increasingly innovative product.

In our activity we have outlined a vertical business model, which allows us to control all steps of product development, which we named as “Fantastic Products”. Differentiated, these enterprises aim to anticipate trends, have safe social spaces, are true platforms for solutions to meet the demands of contemporary life and reduced environmental negative impact.

We want to transform the way people live, work and socialize. Doing our part in the fight against global warming and climate change goes through this. Through certified projects that allow carbon reduction, we also encourage jobs and income generation. Besides, the engagement of stakeholders and the alignment of expectations and processes to act sustainably contribute to the continuity of the business, risk mitigation and consistency of return in the long term.

This sustainable business model, combined with the best management practices, allowed us to end another year with positive results. Even under the impact of the pandemic, in 2021, we delivered three projects and launched nine projects in the city of São Paulo and acquired 18 plots of land in São Paulo and Porto Alegre in partnership with our subsidiary Melnick Desenvolvimento Imobiliário.

This was only possible due to the commitment and expertise of our professionals, the credibility of our clients and the support of our shareholders. We thank all our stakeholders for their trust this year, and we look forward to having their support for a new successful journey in 2022.
