Created in 2003, Ânima is one of the main private higher education organizations in the country. Our strategies and actions are based in the purpose to "Transform Brazil through the Education", based on the values of transparency, respect, cooperation, commitment, recognition, and innovation.

We seek to reach the highest standards of corporate governance and, therefore, we qualify for B3’s Novo Mercado segment, with the Company’s IPO in 2013.

We advanced with more strength in our commitment to best governance practices, consolidating ethical standards and continually improving transparency for stakeholders

Highlights of recent initiatives include the evolution of the Company's Corporate Governance, with a structure composed of a Shareholders' Meeting, a Board of Directors made up of a majority of independent directors, and a broader range of competencies, including strategy, corporate governance, and digital transformation, five advisory committees (Academic, Audit, Governance and Risk Management, Finance and M&A, People and Digital Transformation), as well as the Fiscal Council, and, within the Executive Board, the Executive Committee.

A Governance Board for the Board of Directors was created to be responsible for the Governance Department, as well as a Board responsible for Audit, Risk Management, and Compliance, both of which report directly to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors and are supported by a fully-independent Audit, Governance and Risk Management Committee, providing more solidity to the Company's Governance System, with a clear definition of roles and fairness of treatment to shareholders.
