Marcopolo presents the third edition of its Sustainability Report as a way to share with the society, a summary of its performance in the economic, environmental and social areas aligned with the corporate governance practices of the Company. Founded in 1949, the company has always had as pillars the respect, appreciation and transparency in relationships with people. The year 2013 was characterized as a period of turmoil and new challenges for the bus industry in Brazil, especially along the second half. In this scenario, Marcopolo net revenue grew 9.1% domestically and 7.5% in the export Market, compared with the previous year. Marcopolo has carried on the expansion and modernization of productive areas in Caxias do Sul and Rio de Janeiro; it has begun the construction of the new Volare factory in São Mateus in Espírito Santo; and the new Logistics Centre, which will concentrate the distribution of material from the Ana Rech unit. In addition to that, significant investments were made to improve working conditions and welfare of the employees, such as new sanitary facilities; adequacy of rest areas and services such as banks, pharmacies and covenants. Marcopolo has also carried on the renovation of the restaurant at the Ana Rech unit, serving more than 5,000 employees / day. Marcopolo Foundation, the corporate arm of the company, has been carrying out actions for social development, especially targeted to children and adolescents in the cities where its manufacturing plants are located. The Foundation also coordinates the allocation of corporate taxes of Marcopolo units in Brazil and its employees, in order to support projects that generate direct benefits to the community. Since 1990, the company maintains the Marcopolo Professional Training School, which has trained more than 1,000 young professionals. Its concern with professional qualification is extended to all employees through training courses, scholarships and language programs. During the year 2013, Sustainability indicators were included and followed up in the Balanced Score Card (BSC) of the company, and in 2014 a target of 5% improvement was established in all areas. Regarding the involvement of interested parties, the company conducted research with different stakeholders. The results formed the basis for the Materiality Matrix that will guide the actions of Marcopolo in relation to sustainability in the future. Moreover, the channels of internal and external ombudsman had undergone a revision in order to facilitate communication with its various audiences. Finally, Marcopolo reaffirms its commitment to management focused on sustainable development and encourages the practice of the values that make it a business of solid economic, environmental and social image. 4 MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SUSTAINABILITY REPORT MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS 5
4 2.PARAMETERS AND ENGAGEMENT For the third consecutive year, Marcopolo discloses its Sustainability Report, which is based on international guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Reported information refers to the year 2013, and presents comparative results data of 2011 and GRI 3.5/3.6/3.7/3.9/4.14/4.15/4.16/4.17 The report has been improved every year, seeking transparency with the support of the public of the Company, who were invited to contribute with their opinion, identifying sustainability issues of greatest relevance. To make this query, Marcopolo has identified and elected these priority stakeholders to participate in the Materiality Test, prepared on the basis of GRI indicators. This activity was developed by the Marcopolo Sustainability Committee with the help of related areas. The Sustainability Committee was created in 2008 and consists of representatives from the Financial, Social and Environmental areas. The indicators are being monitored monthly and since 2013, some of them are part of the BSC (Balanced Score Card) of the company with performance goals by area. COMPOSITION OF THE REPORT When reading this publication, it is possible to observe that the company s actions are aligned to the results of the Materiality Matrix. It is noticed that the indicators that were evaluated as less important are precisely the topics that have been worked by the Company over the years; therefore they are no longer perceived as in need of attention. This year, the qualification programs for labor, health and safety and waste disposal for employees, were again scored as very important, but with a subtle shift in priority by the company. As an immediate action, proper disposal of waste and reduction of waste materials were included among the indicators of the Company Profit Sharing Program (EFIMAR Marcopolo Efficacy). In the composition of the social and environmental indicators, the company reports only transactions with operations in Brazil, however, the financial indicators have consolidated data from across the whole Company in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and IFRS - International Financial Reporting Standards. Marcopolo measuring techniques and base of calculations use the Universal System (Human Resources) and SAP (other areas). 6 PARAMETERS AND ENGAGEMENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PARAMETERS AND ENGAGEMENT 7

Marcopolo uses the intranet to conduct periodic surveys in order to assess the understanding and effectiveness of information and actions of the company.

The Ombudsman program is an important channel of communication between employees and Marcopolo, it allows the company to constantly monitor the organizational environment, taking actions to improve people management practices. Marcopolo has two channels of the Ombudsman program for the employees: the Free Channel and the Conduct Committee.

The Conduct Committee has the responsibility to provide guidance to employees in case of doubt as to the application of the Code of Conduct, as well as assessment and decision making when cases of violation of principles are verified. To address any situation to the Free Channel or the Conduct Committee, employees must use the link on the corporate Intranet page. The system is 100% safe, and the individuals do not need to identify themselves to use the Ombudsman. The manifestations are forwarded to the responsible for the matters, and the answer must be provided in the allotted time. When the employee is not identified, the answers are placed on the intranet and the sender has access through the password received when sending the message. The practice is also foreseen by the regulation SA 8000, which aims to ensure workers rights. Employees and people in general can use the External Ombudsman, through the open channel to make complaints of potential fraud, theft and related topics, which will be segregated and sent for evaluation of Internal Audit, under the management of the Audit and Risks Committee. Employee Satisfaction The company carries Organizational Environment Survey to verify the satisfaction of its employees towards management as well as the services and benefits offered. A sample survey with 30% of the workforce was performed in 2012 and the overall result for Brazil is 69% satisfaction. After the research, improvement actions were defined and they have been implemented since then.

During 49 years he dedicated to the company, revealing to be very much ahead of his time, besides being very gentle, affectionate, elegant and very attached to details. He started in the company in 1964, when it was still called Nicola. By that time, the company depended almost exclusively on the center of the country, due to the receiving of raw material or sales operations. In this way, in 1967 he transferred to São Paulo, where he got the position of general sales supervisor of the national market, assisting in the opening of new markets. Returning to Caxias do Sul, his activity turned to the commercial area, covering national and international markets. Since the very beginning, he had a direct and determinant participation in the planning and definition of strategic actions of communication. He was responsible for changing the name of the company from Nicola to Marcopolo, for the construction of a solid identity that reflected the policy of quality and partnership with the client, besides strongly contributing for the expansion of businesses, due to his visionary guidance through different cultures and countries around the world, in the five continents. Mr. Valter Gomes Pinto left a very important legacy for the company and will be remembered as a great supporter of the improvement of the policy of relations with clients, through the expansion of networking and qualification of the processes of commercialization of products. He was also one of the greatest supporters of the Marcopolo Memory Documentation Center.

GRI , AN OVERCOMING YEAR GRI 2.9 The year 2013 was characterized as a year of new challenges and turmoil for the bus manufacturing and bus bodies industry in Brazil, especially in the second half. In June, popular demonstrations, which began as a result of the announced increase of bus fares, leaded to claims that demanded tariff reductions and improvements in public transport, which resulted in the freezing of urban bus fares by local governments. Until then, Marcopolo had been operating with a good volume of orders, both for road and urban models. From the fourth quarter onwards the demand for city buses was reduced due to the freezing of bus tariffs. Added to this, is the publication of the invitation to bid on interstate lines by the National Transportation Agency (ANTT), which also brought uncertainty to the market for intercity buses, affecting the entry of new orders. Despite the challenging scenario, Marcopolo s net revenue grew 9.1% domestically and 7.5% in the export market compared with the previous year. Production in Brazil increased 5.0% compared to 2012, and the consolidated global production rose 4.0% in the same period. Although undeniable efforts in all spheres of the government, federal, state and municipal, aimed at providing a more organized public transport system with newer buses providing more speed and comfort for users, especially through BRT systems (Bus Rapid Transit); the short-term impacts reflected in the demand for buses in the end of 2013, bringing uncertainties to the bus sector in Brazil. However, in the medium to long term these actions should converge to acceleration in the renewal of the bus fleet in order to meet the new requirements and regulations, such as the limitation of maximum age and higher frequency of operations benefiting bus body manufacturers. In foreign markets, the revenue from Brazilian exports benefited from the devaluation of the BRL against the USD, and the Special Regime for Reintegration Securities Tax (REINTEGRA), valid until the end of Regarding the subsidiaries of Marcopolo abroad, the highlight was Volgren - Australia, where production rose 21.6% in 2013 compared to Altogether, transactions outside Marcopolo contributed with a volume of 2,154 units in As for financing, FINAME - PSI of BNDES credit line was renewed until the end of 2014 with interest of 6.0% per year, which is still attractive for the acquisition of capital assets in Brazil. At the end of the year, the Federal Government announced a new electronic auction of the project Road to School, for the purchase of up to 8,000 units. On January 23, 2013, Marcopolo has signed a strategic investment contract worth C$ million (Canadian dollars) to subscribe 34 ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE RELATÓRIO SUSTAINABILITY DE SUSTENTABILIDADE REPORT ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE 35

21 THE YEAR 2014 SUPPLIERS GRI EC.6 The uncertain scenario for the Brazilian bus market, which began in the second half of last year, still persists in However, the World Cup, which is driving the demand for buses in the tourism sector and intercity transport, allied to the BRT orders in backlog, are compensating the decrease in the other segments. Regarding the bidding of interstate lines, the schedule is still undefined and it remains with no forecast for the date of the auctions. In foreign markets, the devaluation of the real against the dollar has boosted Marcopolo exports, especially from the fourth quarter of last year. In addition to the traditional import markets, Marcopolo envisions important export business to countries in Central America and Africa, mostly focused on the implementation of new BRT projects and urban mobility in those regions. Regarding the program Road to School of the Federal Government, Marcopolo announced on February 4, through a notice to the Market that will produce and deliver up to 4,100 school buses, whose deliveries will extend through this year and that are now going through the document preparation step. Additionally, still in 2013, Marcopolo was contemplated with the supply of up to 1,540 school buses for the state of São Paulo, whose deliveries shall mostly happen during the first half of The new Volare plant located in the state of Espírito Santo, is expected to start operating in the second half of this year with an initial capacity of 3,000 units per year. In the first stage, the Planalto unit in Caxias do Sul city, will send kits for assembly in the new factory, and on the following step, the plant will be able to produce the Volare buses locally. Regarding Marcopolo subsidiaries abroad, it is important to highlight the launch of the 7th Generation model of intercity buses in Mexico, nationally produced, they have an excellent receptiveness by local customers. In South Africa, MASA was successful in two major lots for the renewal of BRT systems in Johannesburg and Pretoria, whose deliveries began in 2013 and will continue until According to statement issued by the Company on December 16, 2013, the performance expectations for 2014, at the current market conditions and economic performance of the countries where the Company operates are: Investments programmed in the total amount of R$ million; Achieve consolidated net revenues of R$ 3.8 billion; Produce 20,850 units of buses in Brazil and abroad. Purchasing Process The Company maintains a policy of working with suppliers located nearby its units. In the year 2013, Caxias do Sul reached an average of 67% of its suppliers in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. At Marcopolo Rio, however, the reality is different due to the lack of qualified suppliers near the company, so that local purchases represented only 30%. In all units, the percent difference is acquired in other states. In 2013, R$ 2.8 billion was invested in the purchase of products and services by Marcopolo units in Caxias do Sul, and Marcopolo Rio, RJ. In comparison with the previous year, the growth was 12%. If compared with 2011,the value outperformed in 20%. Proportion of local suppliers Year 2013 The lack of domestic suppliers or much higher costs than the international prices lead to importation. Even so, in 2013, the share of purchases from abroad represented less than 4% of the products used in bus bodies.

22 7.ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE NEW LANDFILL CONSOLIDATES THE MANAGEMENT OF INDUSTRIAL WASTE With the objective of continuously improving its environmental management practice, Marcopolo promotes improvements to minimize and control the impact of its activities. In 2013, the company has acquired a new landfill located in Apanhador, on the border between the municipalities of Caxias do Sul and São Francisco de Paula. With this operation, Marcopolo reaches the goal announced in the previous report of maintaining absolute control over environmental liabilities of the company. The process of licensing the Industrial Solid Waste Landfill Class II demanded five years involving environmental impact studies, public hearings, Preview and Installation and Operation licenses. The landfill, which is built from careful environmental control standards, covers a total area of 16 hectares and has a projection of 25 years of life. The manufacturing of bus bodies implies the use of 8,500 items, involving different types of raw material from metal alloys to very sophisticated engineering plastic, with all types of coating in fabric, plastic, formic and fiber glass laminate, wood, etc. The selective waste collection implies the internal separation of more than 60 items that are stred temporarily in the Waste Center. The Hazardous wastes are destined for the technologies that do not generate environmental liabilities for the company such as co-processing, decontamination and / or recycling. Scrap metals, for example, are sent directly to recycling. All other materials are sent to the Waste Processing Unit - UPR, which undergo a new screening. The aim of the UPR is to add value to materials with recycling potential and recover also those that were mixed. What is not amenable to recycling is compressed to the maximum in order to minimize the grounded volume. In 2013, the company promoted tours of employees in the Waste Processing Unit; from the engineering department only, there were more than 300 people participating. Thus, the responsibility of employees in reducing the waste of materials has increased. The visiting program continues in SUSTAINABILITY REPORT ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE 43
