Organized into three segments – Industrial, Financial and New Business – the businesses that comprise the Votorantim Group are characterized by portfolio diversification, while simultaneously retaining a unified management model and sharing the same Vision, Mission and Values. This concept of One Group, of unity in diversity, has allowed the Group to diversify, expand and internationalize its activities, creating value for all the audiences with which it relates: clients, employees, suppliers, partners, shareholders, government and society.

Industrial operations are concentrated in basic sectors of the economy that demand intensive capital, a high scale of production, and state-of-the-art technology: cement, mining and metallurgy (aluminum, zinc and nickel), steel, pulp and paper, concentrated orange juice, and self-generation of electricity.

In the financial market, it operates through Votorantim Finance, which connects the group of institutions that operate together in the financial market: Banco Votorantim (commercial and investment bank), BV Financeira (consumer financing and credit), Votorantim Asset Management (resource management), BV Leasing (leasing operations), and Votorantim CTVM (securities brokerage firm).

In New Business, it invests in biotechnology, information technology, and chemical companies and projects.
In 2008, this group of businesses led the Votorantim Group to net revenues of US$ 19.1 billion. Cash generation (EBITDA) was US$ 4.2 billion, and Capex investments were US$ 4.2 billion – the largest amount applied to business growth in one single year. The projection is to invest another R$ 5 billion in 2009.
