CODIM discloses Pronouncement about ‘The Company Relationship with the Press’

On June 2, 2014, CODIM (Steering Committee for Disclosure to the Market) published its Guidance Pronouncement (Pronunciamento de Orientação) No.  17 about The Company Relationship with the Press.
The good relationship of a company with the press indicates the organization’s commitment to transparency. To have an “open door” policy means that the company’s managers are interest in spreading the knowledge about the company and its businesses. Many publicly-held companies are followed by communication channels, including specialized media, what requires the adoption of the best practices in the relationship with the press.
The rapporteurs Helio Garcia, representative of IBRI (Brazilian Institute of Investors Relations), Patrícia Pellini, representative of BM&FBOVESPA, and Haroldo Levy, coordinator of CODIM (Association of Capital Market Analysts and Investment Professionals – APIMEC), participated in the press conference about the topic held at IBRI’s headquarters, on June 2, 2014, at 11 a.m.
