Networking Luncheon
at Capim Santo
The Networking Luncheon offered by Swedcham at the
Capim Santo restaurant on May 30 attracted a large
crowd and was a resounding success.
Capim Santo, which originated in Trancoso in the State
of Bahia in 1985 and now also has a unit in São Paulo’s
Jardins area, is considered one of the greatest restaurants
featuring contemporary Brazilian cuisine.
The typical and delicious Brazilian cuisine, prepared by
Chef Morena Leite, was enjoyed by all in a convivial
atmosphere with tables surrounded by a beautiful garden
full of native Brazilian trees, to the sound of bossa nova.
The restaurant’s architecture is rich in regional Brazilian
elements and the place is sort of like a small oasis in the
midst of São Paulo’s skyscrapers.
Another successful Networking Luncheon was held on
May 17 at the Italy restaurant on São Paulo’s famous Rua
Oscar Freire, where Swedcham’s own premises are located.

Ernst & Young and
Talent Group event
Swedcham, in partnership with Ernst & Young and
Talent Group, invited members on June 3 to a presentation
about the government’s new electronic monitoring
system, eSocial, which started being implemented in
January this year.
The arrival of this system brings new challenges to the
country’s already complex tax, labor and welfare environment,
even more so when dealing with the hiring of
outsourced services and manpower.
During the event, Marina Carvalho, Labor and Social
Security Manager at Ernst & Young, gave an exposé
about this new system, while Luiz Carlos Manni, Director
of Strategy & Marketing at Talent Group, presented the
impacts of eSocial on the outsourcing of services.
