INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION 2024 At our ongoing International Convention 2024 in our HQ, we experienced a fully packed day filled with diverse leadership meetings and collaborative working groups. We were particularly excited to present our M&A success story to our peers. Together with my partner, Rafael Martins, we provided insights into the mergers and acquisitions landscape in Brazil and how we developed our Brazilian M&A team from scratch years ago to one of the strongest and biggest teams in the group serving in the meantime our clients fully integrated with other countries. Moreover, it was emphasized in our international audit board that we are closing in on the Big 4 and are effectively perceived as the Big 5 in terms of market perception and positioning, according to the renowned Manager Magazin best auditor ranking. In the important category of ESG/Sustainability, we were even ranked number 1 setting the benchmark even for Big 4 in Germany. Another highlight was that our new International Audit Services provided by Brazil team was presented as a best practice for our group. Now we are looking forward to our country dinner tonight and more highlights tomorrow... #WeAreRoedl

RIGHT SHIFT IN EUROPE The member states of the European Union are all together the biggest foreign investor in Brazil and South America. Last weekend, over 400 million Europeans went to the polls, and in a decisive shift, the Right secured control of the European Parliament for the next five years. This outcome signifies a significant change in European politics, marking a change in power compared to the 2019 elections, where the center-right and center-left nearly equally divided the parliament. Conservative parties now hold a majority presence in the European Parliament. Among them, the CDU in Germany (Center-Right), FPO in Austria (Right), and RN in France (Right) stand out. The European Union plays a crucial role in setting macroeconomic guidelines and decisions, including economic targets, environmental protection rules, technology regulations, and notably, trade agreements with other nations. One of the most important agreements currently on the table is the trade agreement between the European Union and Mercosul. This agreement has the potential to create one of the largest trade blocs in the world, facilitating the exchange of goods and services, promoting economic growth, and generating jobs in both regions. However, with the Right taking control of the European Parliament, there are uncertainties about the future of this agreement. Many right-wing parties adopt a more protectionist stance and may choose to review or even renegotiate the terms of the agreement to protect their national markets. This possible shift in approach could delay the implementation of the agreement or significantly alter its conditions, impacting the economies of the involved countries. The success of this agreement is vital not only to strengthen trade relations between Europe and Latin America but also to demonstrate the European Union's ability to engage in strategic trade partnerships in an increasingly competitive global landscape. Beyond the economic impact, the Right's victory in the European Parliament reflects a broader change in the politics of several member countries. In France, for example, after his party's defeat in the elections, the leader decided to dissolve the National Assembly and call for new elections, scheduled for the 30th of this month. This scenario of political instability can influence important decisions and affect how the European Union positions itself on global issues in the coming years. In summary, the recent victory of the Right in the European Parliament represents a significant change in the European political landscape. As a German doing business in Brazil, I will closely monitor this issue and share any developments on this platform. We will remain vigilant! #politics #EUelections #economy #Mercosul 👉 Click "Follow" for more on sustainability, investments, and motivation: https://lnkd.in/dKQ3-ABM

Brazil: A Premier Destination for SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS This week, the world celebrates Environment Week, a timely occasion to highlight an important issue. Martina Hackelberg, the German Consul-General in São Paulo, eloquently underscored this during a COMEX event organized by Rödl & Partner | South America, with the presence of ICC Brasil and AHK. Her insights perfectly align with the themes of this significant week. Brazil stands out as a highly attractive country for companies aiming to strengthen their sustainability practices. A primary reason is that over 90% of the energy consumed in the country is derived from renewable sources, such as hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. In addition to clean energy, Brazil offers a vast availability of essential raw materials for various industries. The abundance of natural resources, such as water, minerals and metals and other raw materials enable Brazil to play a crucial role in the green transition to a sustainable economy right from the base of the value chain. Companies can benefit from direct access to these materials, minimizing transportation costs and reducing dependence on external suppliers. In this context of environmental reflection, it is crucial to consider that investing in sustainability is not only an environmental necessity but also a business and innovation opportunity. The future belongs to those who choose to act responsibly today. #sustainability #comex #enviromentalweek #Brazil #BrazilsBest 👉 Click "Follow" for more on sustainability, investments, and motivation: https://lnkd.in/dKQ3-ABM

IN BRAZIL ONLY BIG IS BEAUTIFUL This week marks the 25th edition of FCE Pharma and Cosmetique, held at the São Paulo Expo. Organized by our long-term client NürnbergMesse Brasil, this event has distinguished itself as one of the world's largest B2B fairs in the cosmetics and chemical sectors. NM is renowned for its commitment to excellence in event organization, with its largest operation outside Germany located in Brazil. Organizing more than 100 events in Brazil annually, they exemplify how companies in Brazil need to either reach a critical mass or face challenges with relatively high operational costs (aka “custo Brasil”). It was a pleasure to connect with industry leaders in the Hospitality Class VIP Area. Many thanks to Diego de Carvalho, VP of NM, for the kind invite & tour. At Rödl & Partner | South America, we monitor such business opportunities for our clients and keep you informed about significant events. The fair is still open to visitors until tomorrow, June 6th.

200 Years of German Immigration in Brazil On this weekend, I was invited by the German school to the Festa Alemanha no Brasil, celebrating 200 years of German immigration, organized by the Consulate-General of Germany in São Paulo and the Immigration Museum. The event, held at the complex of the former Immigrant Hostel in Brás, featured a rich cultural program. There were traditional dance performances, storytelling about immigration, and a DJ set that mixed German and Brazilian music. The participants - among others the General Consul of Germany to SP and the German school represenative - indulged in the nostalgic flavors of my homeland with typical German dishes like Currywurst, Eisbein, and Strudel. Highlight was an exhibition of vintage cars and buses from Mercedes-Benz, a partner of Rödl & Partner | South America, which, with its many years in Brazil, is also part of this shared history. The exhibition “Journey to Brazil: History of German-speaking Peoples' Migrations” complemented the event, highlighting the contributions of German immigrants over the years. The festival reinforced the cultural and historical ties between Germany and Brazil. #Germany #Brazil #Immigration 👉 Click "Follow" for more on sustainability, investments, and motivation: https://lnkd.in/dKQ3-ABM
