Welcome to another edition of Aché’s Annual Report!

> Best Reporting Practices

We adopted best reporting practices and the recommendations for integrated reporting, according to the guidelines of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) on clearly and transparently reporting financial and non-financial factors and their relevance in generating value for the business and for our stakeholders.

We have adhered to the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), voluntary global best practices in sustainability and Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) reporting. We also adopted the guidelines of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), a voluntary standard for reporting sector sustainability. At the end of the report, in GRI Content Summary and SASB Content Summary, there is a complete list of GRI and SASB indicators. The content corresponding to the indicators is flagged at the beginning of each subchapter

The global agenda adopted by the United Nations comprises 17 SDGs - Sustainable Development Goals. In alignment with its business strategy, Aché has chosen seven objectives and a series of commitments that are to be met by 2030. In the chapter Strategy and Management, we explain the priority SDGs and present information on our Sustainability Strategy and our commitments.
