São Paulo, December 01, 2014 - The symbolic ringing of the opening bell at Thursday`s trading session marked the starting point of celebrations of ten years of ISE. The event enjoyed the participation of BM&FBOVESPA CEO Edemir Pinto, FGV-EAESP Center for Sustainability Studies (GVces) Coordinator Mario Monzoni and representatives of the 11 companies that have been part of ISE since its first portfolio: AES Eletropaulo, Banco do Brasil, Bradesco, Braskem, BRF, Cemig, CPFL Energia, Fibria, Itaú Unibanco, Natura and Tractebel.

During the event there was the announcement of a series of initiatives that will be implemented up to November 2015 in celebration of ten years of the index. One of the highlights is the ISE Indicators Platform, which will be launched at the start of December at the new ISE website. This platform will allow the user to consult a database that has been accumulated over the ten years of the portfolio and which encompasses the economic performance of the index, the performance of its companies and the themes under focus. This will enable the generation of dynamic graphs and analyses that are based on the questionnaire's criteria, on indicators and on the relevant themes.

At the event there was also the launch of the white paper "Como comunicar melhor aos investidores as informações socioambientais" (how to better communicate socio-environmental information to investors), produced by GRI, CDP and CEBDS.
