Renato Padovese CEO da Cruzeiro do Sul Eucacional
For 60 years, Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional has been transforming lives through quality education, creating value for its stakeholders and contributing to the development of society.
In 2025, we made progress in consolidating our new academic project, focused on student centrality, innovation and preparation for the challenges of the world of work. We also strengthened our ESG agenda, advancing in the consolidation of our materiality assessment and in the development of a sustainability guideline that progressively integrates environmental, social and governance topics into the business strategy.
We also celebrated a year of record results, driven by operational efficiency, the Company’s growth and our commitment to responsible management. These advances reflect the work of more than seven thousand employees, who play a fundamental role in our operations and in fulfilling the Company’s institutional mission. Our commitment to promoting well-being and an inspiring workplace was recognised for the third consecutive year with the Great Place to Work (GPTW) certification. We closed the year by strengthening our integrity, information security and corporate governance processes through the continuous improvement of the pillars of our Integrity Programme.
We reaffirm our commitment to placing students at the centre of our decisions, generating value for society and building an increasingly sustainable future. We thank our employees, students, suppliers, board members, shareholders and partners, whose individual commitment is the foundation that supports our ability to execute our strategy and generate positive impacts for society.
In 2025, we continued to evolve with consistency and a long-term vision.
