Euromoney Magazine Announced the Results of the Best Managed Companies in Latin America Annual Poll
SAO PAULO, March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL and BM&FBOVESPA: GOLL4), the largest low-cost and low-fare airline in Latin America, announces the award of Best Managed Company in the Airlines and Aviation Sector by Euromoney Magazine's fifth annual ranking. According to the magazine, published in March 2010, GOL has excelled among its peers in the industry in a year when global and regional financial crises have provided Latin America's corporate executives with stark evidence of the benefits of good corporate governance.
The poll is given by Euromoney Magazine and rewards those companies with the most convincing and coherent business strategies by region, country and industry, as well as highlighting those that demonstrate sound practice of corporate governance.
The ranking is based on a survey of market analysts at major banks, consultancy firms and research institutes focusing on Latin America. Respondents were asked to nominate the top three companies in each of the countries or sectors they covered, taking into account their market strength, profitability, growth potential, quality of management and earnings.
"GOL is a company that values and applies accurately the good corporate governance practices, with a dedicated team that is always working to deliver strong financial results with low costs and operational efficiency, while providing quality service to customers. Winning this award symbolizes the efforts of employees around these issues; I therefore thank and dedicate this award to them," said Constantino de Oliveira Junior, CEO and co-founder of GOL Linhas Aereas Inteligentes.
