Note 1: in 2022, a case of fraud was reported relating to a forestry module, which resulted in an internal audit. That audit culminated in the dismissal of the employees concerned. Although the incident took place in 2022, it was reported for 2023, the year in which there was also another case of fraud, this time relating to travel reimbursements, which led to the dismissal of one employee. In 2023, we recorded no cases of public corruption.

Note 2: for the four confirmed cases of corruption in 2024, the employees involved were duly disciplined or dismissed. The employee categories affected include supervision, coordination and operational. Altogether, 29 employees were either disciplined or dismissed. In one case concerning reimbursement of moving expenses, 26 employees were dismissed. In the other cases, there was only one dismissal per case.

Note 3: The increase in the number of reports in 2025 reflects the maturity of the Internal Ombudsman Office following the implementation of an external, specialized reporting channel, which ensures greater reliability for whistleblowers. Of the 22 cases recorded (16 in São Paulo and 6 in Bahia), disciplinary measures or terminations were applied to 16 professionals in São Paulo and three in Bahia. In Bahia, the remaining cases are either ongoing or did not involve employees.

Note 4: in 2025, there were no cases of legal proceedings.
