In 2023, the Remuneration Committee asked the Company to request specialized consultancy services in studies of executive and directors remuneration, in order to assess the level of alignment of remuneration, as well as the components used in the remuneration package, of the Group’s governing bodies with the benchmark practices in the international market, a context in which the Group operates, specifically for the roles of Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, non-executive directors and members of Specialized Committees. The independence of the contracted consultants was a necessary requirement for the provision of services and said consultants could not provide other services to the Company or to companies that, with the same, were in a control or group relationship.
