Donations with Tax Deduction: A Smart ESG Strategy for Companies Supporting Ecobraz

A Corporate Dilemma

Picture yourself as a sustainability director in a multinational operating in Brazil. Every year, your company must dispose of tons of outdated electronics — computers, printers, servers, routers, cables. At the same time, your board, investors, and the market are demanding solid ESG results: reducing environmental impact, promoting social inclusion, and ensuring transparent practices.

The question is clear: how to achieve real, measurable results with proven return, without increasing costs?

This is where Ecobraz Emigre enters the picture.

Who is Ecobraz?

Ecobraz Emigre is officially recognized as both an OSCIP (Public Interest Civil Society Organization) and a Public Interest Entity by the State of São Paulo.

This recognition allows companies to allocate up to 2% of their income tax due directly to Ecobraz projects, receiving the legal and tax benefits of deduction.

This is not philanthropy with no return — it is an investment with fiscal and reputational benefits.

The Weight of Corporate E-Waste

Brazil is the fifth largest generator of e-waste in the world. For companies, this translates into thousands of obsolete devices every year.

Incorrect disposal creates legal risks, environmental fines, and reputational damage.

On the other hand, working with Ecobraz guarantees:

• certified, environmentally compliant disposal;

• documented traceability;

• and a positive social and environmental legacy.

What Companies Gain by Supporting Ecobraz

1. Guaranteed Tax Benefit – the donation is deducted from the income tax due. No additional cost.

2. Proven Environmental Impact – every ton of recycled electronics reduces pollution and extraction of raw materials.

3. Digital Inclusion – refurbished equipment becomes technology hubs in underserved communities.

4. ESG Strengthening – measurable projects strengthen sustainability and ESG reports.

5. Complete Documentation – all legal and accounting paperwork provided for compliance.

Practical Example

A company owing R$ 5 million in income tax can allocate R$ 100,000 to Ecobraz.

Instead of disappearing into the general government budget, this amount becomes:

• free large-scale e-waste collection nationwide;

• safe dismantling and recycling with certification;

• digital inclusion centers for vulnerable communities;

• employment and opportunities in the recycling chain.

And all this at no additional cost to the company.

Corporate Success Stories

A multinational tech firm that partnered with Ecobraz reported that, beyond the tax benefit, the investment was highlighted as a best ESG practice in an international audit.

Another industrial company noted that supporting Ecobraz reduced legal risks while ensuring environmentally correct disposal for tons of obsolete equipment.

These examples demonstrate that supporting Ecobraz is not just a fiscal advantage — it is a strategic ESG move.

The Future is ESG

The market does not forgive companies that ignore socio-environmental responsibility. Investors, clients, and global partners increasingly demand clear commitments.

Redirecting part of your company’s income tax to Ecobraz is one of the smartest ways to align fiscal, environmental, and social strategies in a single decision.
