GRI 2-19 Remuneration policies

Total remuneration at Bracell is based on the employee’s role as well as their skills and competencies. We also apply variable compensation criteria linked to results, alignment with, and dissemination of our T.O.P.I.C.C. organizational values.

Our compensation structure is compliant with current labor laws and all collective bargaining agreements. We also benchmark our compensation practices so we remain competitive in attracting and retaining talent to support Bracell’s strategies and goals.

Internally, compensation is determined based on a role’s grading and/or its relative importance in the organizational structure, internal pay equity, the knowledge and competencies required for each role, the defined organizational structure, available budget, and both individual and company performance.

The salary table is updated annually based on market benchmarks. Benchmarking assessments cover variables such as competitor compensation, regional benchmarks, labor availability, unemployment rates, and turnover.

For executive-level positions, Bracell’s Compensation Policy includes fixed and variable pay, signing bonuses and hiring incentives, retirement benefits, and severance-related policies.

For leadership positions, variable compensation includes bonuses linked to achieving organizational goals, including commitments outlined in Bracell 2030 (read more under Bracell 2030).

Variable compensation consists of two components:

Performance Contract (PC): individual contracts outlining employee-specific performance targets, as part of a corporate bonus program. This model aligns individual with organizational objectives and drives high performance and talent retention.

Core Values Evaluation Form: in this component, payment is tied to performance assessed through our Profit-Sharing Program (PPR), which is agreed annually by the company, an employee committee, and the labor union to match compensation with overall business performance.

Contract terminations follow the guidelines established by Brazilian labor legislation.
