This strategy has 15 programs grouped into 10 levers: 4 in the environmental pillar, 2 in the social pillar, 3 in the governance pillar, and 1 cross-cutting lever spanning all areas. We will invest over R$ 1 billion in these initiatives through 2030.

CBA pays out minimum mandatory dividends equal to 25% (twenty-five percent) of the previous year’s net income.
Additional dividends can also be paid, in accordance with the Dividends Policy.
Interest on Equity (JCP) was created by art. 9 of Law 9.249/95 as a form of additional compensation to that resulting from profit shares, paid to shareholders, owners or partners of a company. Whilst optional, JCP provides an additional yield that shareholders, owners or partners of the company receive on top of their profit shares.
JCP interest is calculated based on the Long-term Interest Rate – TJLP on the values in equity accounts, except the unrealized revaluation surplus, irrespective of capitalization. However, actual payment is conditional on there being available profits, calculated prior to the deduction of the interest or retained earnings and profit reserves in amounts equivalent to, or exceeding, twice the amount of such interest to be paid. The payment of JCP is treated as an expense in the company’s profit and loss, and is deductible for the purpose of income and social contribution taxes.
The JCP is also subject to income tax withheld at source for resident and non-resident recipients.
