The topics addressed in the document are directed toward the Company’s stakeholders: analysts and investors, customers, suppliers, employees and representatives of sectoral and socio-environmental institutions. To put together the content, 30 interviews with the professionals responsible for the companies and business units that form the Group, and the management departments for personnel, risk management, corporate relations, corporate governance, investor relations, corporate sustainability, operations, strategic planning, and marketing, among others, were conducted.

The information refers to the Group’s performance during 2013, and was gathered and integrated with the support of the offices of the CEO, the vice-presidencies, executive officers and employees of the main areas. The Offices of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications coordinated the effort with the Corporate Sustainability Department, which crunched all the data, and which can be contacted through its email ([email protected]) regarding any questions about this document. Changes to previously disclosed data are indicated throughout the document. This year, the scope of the report was broader, since information from all of the Company’s business units was considered.

The consolidated operating and financial data include in full the results of Assaí Atacadista and Via Varejo S.A. The financial information complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards – IFRS, as established in CVM Instructions 457/07 and 485/10, and was audited by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Auditores Independentes.
