SAO PAULO, Brazil, July 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — TAM (Bovespa:
TAMM4 and NYSE: TAM) has formalized its adherence to the declaration of
“Business Social Responsibility and Human Rights” presented at an event
sponsored by the Ethos Institute and by the Special Secretary for Human
Rights of the Presidency of the Republic this past July 24th, in
commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights of the United Nations (UN). With its adherence, TAM has become the
only airline among the first 84 signatory companies of the declaration.

By formalizing the agreement, the company is declaring its commitment
to implement action plans leading to progressive improvement of the
indicators of social responsibility that reflect human rights policies,
such as: promotion of racial and gender equality in the work place; the
eradication of slave labor; inclusion of people with handicaps; and support
for the promotion of the rights of children, adolescents and youth.

TAM president Captain David Barioni Neto signed for the company,
publicly assuming the commitment to promote the principles upheld by this
declaration, which was officially inaugurated at an event that brought
together 253 businessmen and 150 representatives of government agencies and
non- governmental organizations, in addition to President Luiz Inacio Lula
da Silva; Jose Serra, Governor of Sao Paulo state; and the mayor of the
city of Sao Paulo, Gilberto Kassab. “TAM’s adherence reinforces our
sustainability policy and our undertaking to contribute to the social
development of this country,” Barioni asserted.

In addition to being a signatory of the declaration of “Social
Responsibility of Business and Human Rights,” TAM is also the first airline
in South America to join the list of signatory companies of the Global
Compact (http://www.unglobalcompact.org), a worldwide initiative developed
by the United Nations (UN).
