 challenge of providing a new experience to employees, so that we are able to attract and retain highly qualified professionals who value environments offering equal opportunities and who wish to build their careers in dynamic, cooperative workplaces, that encourage diversity and meritocracy and are up to date with new work models. Also, our current business scenario demands not only a careful look at traditional careers, but also at new career paths that are indispensable for our future.
 Our performance could be adversely affected if we are unable to attract, retain and motivate key talent. As we are highly dependent on the technical skills of our personnel, including successors to crucial leadership positions, as well as their relationships with clients, the loss of key components of our workforce (particularly to emerging competitors, such as start-ups and fintechs), could make it difficult to compete, grow and manage the business.

 This loss can further affect our businesses if we lose any key employee who is difficult to replace due to a booming talent market (such as data scientists, product managers, designers and others) or to diversity profiles (such as women in leadership roles).

These laws require the adoption of integrity procedures to mitigate the risk of (i) any person acting on our behalf offering an improper advantage to a public agent in order to obtain benefits of any kind; and (ii) officers, employees and third parties inappropriately using financial systems for any AML/TF related acts. Legislation with transnational reach, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as the Brazilian anti-corruption legislation, require us, among other things,
