PERFORMANCE
indicators
Unimeds have autonomous manage-
ment; therefore, all indicators presented
here are integral parts of the informa-
tion collection processes adherence to
which is voluntary. To build this materi-
al, most indicators have been collected
and consolidated in the Unimed Social
Balance, a tool adapted to the model of
Instituto Brasileiro de Análises Sociais e
Econômicas (Ibase) for the cooperatives
reality. Concerning the balance sheet
of fiscal year 2014, 231 Unimeds and
auxiliary companies completely filled
it out until this Report publication, con-
templating indicators from fiscal years
2014 and 2013. They represent 65.81%
of the Unimed System on December
31, 2014. Among the cooperatives and
companies integrating the Unimed
System, we also highlight the participa-
tion of CNU (Unimed National Center),
of Unimed Federations, and of Seguros

About this report
Over 17 years supporting the transition to
sustainable businesses, the GRI offers a
sustainability indicators standard leading
companies to consider the important as-
pects for a good business management. In
its newest version, the G4 guidelines uti-
lization enabled Unimed do Brasil to fo-
cus on the definition process of relevant
sustainability topics, also known as “ma-
terial topics”, which we believe to have
made this report more significant, reliable
and understandable. The material topics
definition process – which encompassed
a survey with our relationship public and
the building of a Materiality Matrix –
maybe checked in Exhibit II. It is import-
ant to point out that some information
contained herein have also been pub-
lished in the Management Report 2014
of Unimed do Brasil, which has been
certified according to the G4 guidelines
and is available on page .
