About the initiative

Tax incentives

In Brazil, we have expanded our generation of positive impacts in the communities where we operate through tax incentive that let companies allocate part of their income tax to cultural, sports, and social projects that meet the criteria of four laws: the Culture / Audiovisual Incentive Law (Rouanet), the Federal Sports Incentive Law, the Child and Adolescent Statute (Municipal Child and Adolescent Funds), and the Elderly Statute (Municipal Elderly Funds).
We use these incentives strategically to boost our contribution to the socioeconomic development of the country's diverse regions.
In 2024, we launched the #DeliveringTheBestOfBrazil Call for Proposals and selected 63 initiatives in entrepreneurship, fashion, digital inclusion, social inclusion through sports, among others.
