Sindapp

What Sindapp does

Sindapp – Sindicato Nacional das Entidades Fechadas de Previdência Complementar is a non-profit trade union founded in 1985 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. It functions as the sole nationally recognized union representing Closed Complementary Pension Entities (EFPCs) — Brazil's closed private pension funds — across the country. Its mandate centers on collective bargaining, strategic collective legal representation, defense of directors' regular management acts, ethics and governance support, and institutional representation before regulatory bodies. The organization is led by Diretor-Presidente Carlos Alberto Pereira, supported by a Diretor Vice-Presidente and Diretor-Executivo, with governance vested in a General Assembly, Executive Board, and Fiscal Council.

Sindapp currently maintains active collective bargaining agreements in five jurisdictions — São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, and Brasília — and offers member EFPCs a portfolio of services including the Sindapp Informa bimonthly bulletin, a Sophia-platform digital library, negotiation cartilhas, ethics e-books, a board practices manual, a bimonthly technical journal co-published with Abrapp/UniAbrapp/ICSS, and a Central de Relacionamento operated jointly with Abrapp. Technology is limited to a WordPress portal (www.sindapp.org.br) and shared Abrapp digital channels; no proprietary AI, APIs, or software platform are disclosed, and a recent LGPD compliance program (Privacy Policy updated January 2025) is administered via an outsourced Data Protection Officer from GET Global Consultoria.

The entity is funded by member dues from its EFPC constituents, with no public pricing or financial disclosure. As a sindicato, Sindapp operates without shareholders and is structurally embedded with Abrapp (Brazilian Association of Closed Complementary Pension Entities), UniAbrapp (education arm), ICSS (certification institute), and Conectesa — sharing branding, channels, and infrastructure rather than functioning as an independent commercial enterprise.
