The entry marks the Company’s second consecutive year in the index, being the first and only education company to appear in the selection, and recognizes Cogna’s commitment to sustainable development and best ESG practices.
Pró-Ética is a pioneering initiative in Latin America created by the Brazilian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, through a partnership with the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU), the Federal Government’s internal control body, with the greatest recognition being the integrity and ethics for companies. This achievement is recognition that the Company has the best practices for preventing, detecting and remediating acts of corruption and fraud, always seeking a more honest, ethical and transparent environment.
The award is also recognized by international organizations such as agencies of the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
Still in 2023, we became part of five movements of the Global Compact, being the first education company to support the initiatives of Elas Lideram, Mente em Foco, Ambição Net Zero, Raça é Prioridade and Transparência 100%. We were also recognized in the S&P ESG Yearbook as an industry mover, occupying the first national position and second global position in the education category.

It is a reflection of our organization and our employees, we are entrepreneurs and we seek results, but most importantly, we always seek in an ethical and transparent way!” Nelson Silveira Guimarães Filho, Partner and Compliance Director
