Main topics to guide Sustainability practices in the Unimed System.

This report has been developed following the new G4 guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which enabled Unimed do Brasil to focus on the Unimed Systemmaterial im-

pacts, risks and opportunities in its value chain too. Besides the stronger focus on materiality, this process provided the reporting process interested parties with higher representation.

For this, Unimed do Brasil invited its relationship publics to opine about the relevant topics for this report.

Step 1 – Identification

Step 2 – Validation

Step 3 – Analysis

Step 4 – Prioritization

Step 5 – Revision

Based on GRI guidelines

and indicators, Unimed

do Brasil took as basis a

pre-selection of 29 topics

deemed to be relevant.

A survey displayed these pre-

selected topics and asked the

engaged publics to list them by

order of importance. The survey

happened from April 09 to June

24, 2014.

Based on the survey 572 answers crossing - 398

answers in the first round, and 174 in the second

round - the Materiality Matrix was created, which

indicated 11 topics deemed to be extremely

relevant for sustainability insertion in the Unimed

System, which were named as “Material Aspects”.

The survey result was validated

with the upper management and

the topics deemed to be highly

relevant were then prioritized in

the report development.

In 2015, Unimed do Brasil revised the topics considered to be

material in the previous year, and based on a benchmarking survey

carried in the market and on international standards, such as

GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and the AA1000 standard from

Accountability, it was defined that three of the topics deemed

“material” will be defined as “transversal topics” for sustainability

management.
