Our History

The history of Bravo has been built over the years and began with an idea from its founder, Claudinei Elias, who saw the importance of Corporate Governance and Risk Management for companies when this was not even talked about. After years of many attempts, in 2009 the company started to implement in Brazilian companies the GRC solution called BWise (currently SAI360), created in the Netherlands, a big step for the Governance sector in Brazil. But it was in 2012, when Nasdaq — US Stock Exchange – acquired the technology, that Bravo GRC expanded its client portfolio

“When, in 2005, I showed the Risk Management process, companies had no idea how necessary this process would be nowadays”, says Claudinei Elias. It may be said that in this time of the market, Bravo GRC has technology as a strategic ally, always in a search for ensuring transparency and protection to all stakeholders, people, planet, and profit of organizations.

The company is like a great engine, able to help organizations promote corporate and cultural regeneration through the use of high technology and consulting for Governance, Risk, and ESG. In order to do so, they co-created and co-innovated with clients, in an original way, with an intelligence in Risk and Governance. More than identifying and organizing the tangle of ideal solutions for your company, Bravo’s intention is to make them work together toward your purpose.

Recently, the company went beyond borders to expand its geographic reach by entering the global market, starting with the Latin American market, and continuously increasing its product and service portfolio in order to meet dynamic market demands. An example of this is the entry into the ESG segment and the creation of the proprietary artificial intelligence named AILA developed to deliver Governance based on data and insights.

Relentless, in 2021, Bravo felt the need to expand its portfolio again, adding to it the consulting service for Governance, Risk, and ESG, a service that is directed at companies of all sizes and sectors. Today, Bravo GRC is a GRC and ESG technology consulting firm that integrates people and processes to raise the organizations’ level of knowledge and awareness, ensure control mechanisms, and protect the clients and their associates’ integrity and reputation.

Also in 2021, there was a big progress in big data at Bravo, led by the Insights area, the company’s intelligence branch. In order to bring a data-based vision of Governance impact, the area has produced very relevantly and market-recognized reports, with emphasis on Quick Guides 1 and 2: Conceptual References and Indicators and Regulations.

Soon, Bravo’s education branch will also be launched, with the mission of changing the teaching of Governance in Brazil. Our Purpose? To develop Governance today for YOU to change the tomorrow.

“Today, working on the Governance of your company is no longer an option. What was once a desire, even deemed a differential, has become a necessity. Corporate Governance-related practices are vital to the performance and efficiency of your company, whether it is a small company or a multinational corporation. And Conscious Capitalism, as well as regenerative strategies, the circular economy, and a clear vision of the impacts caused by companies shall be at the core of multistakeholder Governance, which, more than ever, acts as a fundamental principle and orchestrator of the many ESG initiatives.” Claudinei Elias
