Since 2016, MRS has mapped corporate risks through a specific matrix for the topic, which considers financial, operational, compliance and strategic risks.
In 2022, the Company contracted the support of an external consultancy to review this methodology and the reorganization of the second line of governance through the Risk Management area, aiming at increasing the efficiency and effectiveness in the identification, monitoring and classification of Corporate Risks. The new work methodology will be implemented during 2023
As part of the process, the Risk Dictionary, which comprises the procedures currently adopted in the third line (Internal Audit) of governance already established, was also reviewed.
With the concession renewal (learn more here), driven by the large number of works planned for the coming years, the Internal Audit area will be expanded in 2023 and will have two professionals dedicated to the area of contracts and regulation. Compliance-related activities will also be intensified, including campaigns to reinforce the culture on the topic, especially due to the increased relationship with public authorities and other stakeholders as a result of investments.

The results of the processes for inspection of the permanent ways are available in the topic Railway safety and accident prevention.
check for vertical or horizontal rail misalignment faults caused by problems such as fastening, unevenness, ballast compaction, over-elevation, among others;
which can diagnose initial rail rupture faults caused by wear, overloading, high ballast stiffness, among others;
which enables the identification of roughness deviations in the contact area with the rail head wheel caused by contact wear.
