As an opportunity to work on all significant social
and environmental aspects and impacts, the Águas
do Brasil Group has developed the Olhar Ambiental
program. The program aims at both employees and
external stakeholders of the organization and, since
its implementation, has already reached more than
178 thousand people.
In partnership with various sectors of society,
the actions promote and support environmental
education initiatives involving water supply and
sanitary wastewater processes, environmental
conservation practices, waste management, and
universal basic sanitation.
The programs developed by Zona Oeste
Mais Saneamento focus on informing, raising
awareness, and gaining customer adherence to the
implementation of the sanitary wastewater system.
The Circuito Móvel project consists of models
and banners with information on environmental
awareness presented rovingly. The actions focus on
serving all publics and are carried out in places of
high circulation of people and squares. Promoted in
partnership with a company that recycles materials
to produce cleaning products, the Educação
Socioambiental Olho Vivo project offers access
to appropriate points for the disposal of cooking
oil and promotes awareness lectures. Other social
and environmental initiatives were suspended in
2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic and should be
resumed in the next period.

The Group's utility companies foster the Trata Óleo program, which aims at environmental education and
correct waste disposal. Improper disposal of frying oil causes environmental degradation and hampers the
operation of the sanitary wastewater system. Recycling centers aimed at the correct disposition of oil are
made available at focal points in the cities and utility companies' units. Present in five utility companies,
the initiative should be taken to other operating units in 2022.
7. In 2020, the activities were limited due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which reduced the number of people impacted by the program.
