Sponsorships carried out through federal and state incentive laws (such as ICMS SP) aim to foster local social initiatives through projects and programs that generate positive impact, promote social transformation, and contribute to the sustainable development of the territories where we operate.

Our priority areas of focus include education, culture, health, the environment, and dignified housing. In addition, our primary target audience is children and adolescents, recognizing their central role in building more resilient, inclusive, and opportunity-rich communities. Aligned with our 2025 Sustainability Strategy, we aim to support initiatives in all municipalities where Dexco has operations, connecting with the most relevant and strategically aligned social projects to ensure greater investment effectiveness and management efficiency.

Updated data on the sponsorships carried out in 2024 can be found in the table below. Following this, you will also find the criteria used for project selection and evaluation, which guide our decisions based on social impact, strategic alignment, and feasibility of execution.

Criteria:

• Be implemented in one or more municipalities with Dexco industrial operation;
• Address social demands and issues identified in dialogues with the community;
• Relevant causes: culture, education, health, environment and decent housing;
• Priority target audience: children and adolescents;
• Social Progress Index (IPS) of the territory of implementation of the project;
• Valuing the protagonism of local actors and the strengthening of civil society;
• Have perennial indicators and results for the community (ability to execute);
• Be aligned with one or more of Dexco’s priority SDGs.

Dexco understands that positive impacts on society must be combined with well-defined strategies, so that they are assertive and effective. However, in many situations, specific interventions are necessary, through donations. To this end, Dexco has established an Internal Standard that regulates donations of its products or purchased goods, to meet specific needs.

The Social Responsibility area (ESG Management team) manages donations, ensuring compliance with the criteria and verifying that donations were properly implemented.

In 2023, the amount of donations more than R$ 900,000, in market value of Dexco products or goods acquired by the Company, benefiting 17 institutions and 8 municipalities. With the rains that hit the north coast of São Paulo at the beginning of 2023, we donated R$ 180,000 in a joint action with the Gerando Falcões organization. We also donated Dexco products, including panels for the manufacture of furniture, for distribution to communities affected by the flood that occured in 2023 in the Vale do Taquari (RS).

We believe creating a network of partnerships is essential, since complex problems cannot be solved without engaging several stakeholders. Therefore, Dexco creates institutional partnerships that resonate with our goals and seek sustainable development, promotion of knowledge and education, value diversity, and fight child sexual exploitation.
