Itausa And Itau Holding Are Selected To Compose 2007/2008 Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI)
September 10, 2007



Itau Holding is Selected to Integrate DJSI for the 8th
Consecutive Year (Since the Index was Created), While
Itausa Will be Part of DJS Index for the 4th Time in Eight
Editions


    SAO PAULO, Brazil, Sept. 10 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ --
Itausa - Investimentos Itau S.A. and Banco Itau Holding
Financeira S.A. are pleased to inform that they have been
selected to compose Dow Jones Sustainability World Index
(DJSI) portfolio for its 2007/2008 edition, together with
316 other companies from all over the world. Itau remains
the only Latin-American bank to participate in the index
since its creation in 1999, while Itausa will integrate the
index portfolio for the 4th time.

    DJSI is made up of shares of companies of recognized
corporate sustainability, that is, companies that are able
to create value for their shareholders in the long run, as
they can take advantage of business opportunities and
manage risks associated with economic, environmental, and
social factors. In other words, it takes into account not
only the financial performance, but especially the company
management quality that must integrate economic value with
transparency, corporate governance and social and
environmental responsibility as a form of long-term
sustainability. 

    Since its implementation in January 1999, DJSI has
become a significant reference for fund management
institutions. Such institutions are based on their
performance to make decisions on investments, and offer
diversified products to their clients on the basis of
shares of companies participating in DJSI, which are
committed to sustainable economic, social, environmental,
and cultural development. In August 2007, there were 47
fund managers in 15 different countries authorized to use
the DJSI portfolio.

    The new DJSI composition includes 318 companies from 24
countries, of which only 7 are Brazilian. The index is
reviewed annually based on questionnaires delivered to
companies and public information provided in annual
reports, media channels, and websites for relations with
investors. The survey comprised the top 2,500 companies per
market value of the Dow Jones Global Index, representing 57
operation sectors. In each sector, only 10% of companies
best classified in the sustainability ranking are selected
to join the index, based on the analysis of some 30 items
related to economic, social, and environmental performance
of such companies. The survey and selection process is
audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers.

    Itau Holding obtained the highest score in the bank
sector in the following items: Anticrime Policy, Human
Capital Development and Talent Retention. Itausa, on the
other hand, obtained the highest score in Economic
Dimension and the following items: Brand Management,
Environmental Policy, and Vendor Guidelines.

    Participating in the Dow Jones Index reflects Itausa
and Itau Holding long-term commitment to such values as
ethical business behavior, transparency, compliance with
legality, corporate governance, and social, cultural and
environmental responsibility. We believe that this
commitment is a factor to maintain a sustainable growth and
creation of value for our shareholders over the next coming
years.
