Ecobraz's social projects and digital inclusion in Brazil

Ecobraz develops social projects focused on promoting digital inclusion in various regions of Brazil. Through structured initiatives and strategic partnerships, the organization contributes to the democratization of access to technology, in line with current legislation and best environmental practices.

Legal and Regulatory Context of Digital Inclusion in Brazil

Digital inclusion in Brazil is in line with public policies and federal legislation, such as Decree No. 10.695/2021, which establishes the National Digital Transformation Strategy, promoting access to technology for citizens. This legislation establishes guidelines for programs that encourage access to the internet and the dissemination of technological education.

In addition, the Marco Civil da Internet (Law No. 12.965/2014) regulates the right of access to the world wide web, guaranteeing net neutrality and user privacy, which is essential for projects aimed at safe and effective digital inclusion.

Ecobraz's Performance in Social Projects

Ecobraz works to implement programs that facilitate access to technologies and digital training, especially in low-income communities and regions with low levels of internet access. Through these actions, it promotes the reduction of digital inequality, contributing to the exercise of citizenship and local socio-economic development.

Projects range from the donation of reconditioned electronic equipment to computer and digital security training courses, in line with Decree No. 10.695/2021 and environmental sustainability guidelines.

Responsible Management of Electronic Waste and Technological Collection

An important part of our work is the sustainable management of electronic waste generated, with a focus on the differentiated collection of electronic waste. This practice is guided by the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), which establishes guidelines for the proper disposal and treatment of these materials, preventing environmental impacts and promoting the reuse of components.

In addition, the safe disposal of media such as hard disks (HD) and storage devices is handled by Ecobraz in accordance with data protection and information security legislation, with clear procedures for the secure sanitization of hard drives and electronic media, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of information at the end of the equipment's life cycle.

Contribution to Sustainable Development

Ecobraz's social projects are structured to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular Goal 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure) and Goal 10 (Reducing inequalities). Promoting digital inclusion boosts professional training and access to information, which are fundamental for inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

In addition, the environmentally correct handling of electronic waste mitigates environmental impacts, such as soil and water pollution, in accordance with the regulations of CETESB and other competent environmental bodies.

Strategic Partnerships and Results Achieved

Ecobraz works in collaboration with government agencies, educational institutions and civil society organizations, boosting the scope and efficiency of digital inclusion projects. These partnerships extend the reach of the actions and promote the technical and social training of vulnerable communities.

Studies and official indicators show that the projects have resulted in increased internet access and digital literacy, contributing to social inclusion and strengthening the productive capacity of various sectors.

Conclusion

Ecobraz's work on social projects aimed at digital inclusion represents a strategic contribution to Brazil's digital transformation. Based on official regulations and sustainable practices, these initiatives promote access to technology, training and sustainable development, reinforcing the commitment to socio-environmental and economic responsibility.
