Scenes from the film “AsMelhores Coisas do Mundo”,sponsored by SabespSocial investment, tax incentive andinstitutional supportIn order to create opportunities to those interested in providing institutional andfinancial support to environmental, social and cultural and sports projects, weoffer a selection process, using tender invitations, to legal entities that engagein environmental preservation work and are aligned with the social responsibilityprinciples, cultural incentive, partnerships with civil society organizations and thecommunity.In 2008, Sabesp invested, by means of tax incentives, R$3.3 million to the StateFund for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, through CONDECA (State Councilfor the Rights of Children and Adolescents), whose Mission is to “Incentive, decideand control the actions related to the Policies for the Compliance of the Rights ofChildren and Adolescents in the State of São Paulo”.Our Sabesp Program for Those Who Want Culture sponsors several literary, visualarts, music, dance, theater, circus, cinema, and preservation of cultural heritageprojects. In 2009, we invested R$13.5 in cultural projects using incentives underthe Rouanet Act and Audiovisual Law. We also sponsored sports events andallocated R$3.3 million to water sports such as swimming, rowing and canoeing.We launched together with the São Paulo State Government the CEU (UnifiedEducational Centers) and Water Olympic project to encourage children from theParaisópolis community to start swimming and contribute to their growth ascitizens. The São Paulo sails project is a SABESP partnership with the São PauloState Department of Sports, leisure and Tourism. The objective is to create andsponsor sailing sports and leisure centers, to train students from public schools.Prospects for 2010The main challenge for 2010 is intensifying the Volunteers Program from anintense mobilization of the Sabesp community and promoting monthly campaignsfocused on the Millennium Development Goals. We expect, with this, a largeparticipation of the entire Company that should culminate in the Millennium Day,scheduled for Saturday, October 23, 2010. On this date, the volunteer employeeswill promote a project drive in the communities that will benefit from this greatmovement. We consider the Sabesp Volunteers Program a great opportunitythrough which it is possible to improve the quality of life of less favored andmaintain the development of sustainable ideas and actions.Instituto Criança Cidadã (ICC)We are the cosponsors of ICC (Citizen Child Institute), whose mission is investing in theeducation and training of youngster from poor families, supporting education, cultureand welfare in the São Paulo Metropolitan area. The Institute helps, free of charge, in thedevelopment of the community and the citizenship of approximately 6,000 childrenand adolescents, benefiting 3,500 families through 9 daycare centers, 3 school circus, 2solidarity homes, and 1 cultural center. In 2009, we renewed our contribution for anothertwo years, totaling a support of R$4.8 million to ICC.Ballet Stagium Circo Vox and Bossa 50 Shows sponsored by Sabesp.

Victory of the life, health, and environment values with theprovision of water and sewage services to Favela da LinhaEC9 The issue of whether or not installing water and sewage systems in illegallyoccupied areas has been a concern for a long time for us. If on the one hand thereis legislation that interdicts installing these systems in illegally occupied areas, as aprotection of the private property principle, on the other hand the Federal Constitutionand other statutes highlight the importance of the values of respect for life, health, andthe environment.In this context, installing water and sewage systems in illegally occupied areas has notbeen an easy task. In the case of Favela da Linha, there was an important victory of thelife, health, and environment values. As the occupation of the area is illegal (there is anacquisitive prescription proceeding in progress with Federal Courts), public investmentscould not have been made without proper court authorization. This authorization wasonly possible thanks to our partnering with the NGO Instituto Acaia, which obtainedfrom federal courts a permit to install the systems.Integration ParkCycling track in the Zilda Arns Integration Park.EC8 The Zilda Arns Integration Park, built in the land of the Rio Claro Watermain, inthe region from Sapopemba to São Mateus, is a linear, open space, integrated with theneighboring community and public institutions. Its main objectives are promotingand improving the quality of life of the neighboring population, permit a better useof our watermain land, create a green area to improve the microclimate and regulatetemperature in the region, and preserve our assets. With an investment of R$22 million,the park has cycling and walking tracks, and equipment for cultural, sports and leisureactivities, bathrooms, community policy centers, and 3,000 trees. Opened in January 16,2010, the park has a total area of approximately 224,000 square meters, which makesit the 10th largest public park of city, with 7,470 meters in length. It is one of the mostcomplete socio-environmental parks in the city because it is the only linear one, and thislong. Because it is totally integrated in a densely occupied urban area, it will benefit apopulation estimated in more than 250,000 people.After obtaining the permit, it was possible to install 397 meters of water and sewagesystems, make 284 connections, and install of 257 water meters (UMA), benefiting1,005 people.A t the same time, Participação Comunitária MC and Instituto Acaia worked close withthe inhabitants to clarify doubts and convince them of the importance of the newconnections in terms of quality of life, health, and citizenship. Several statements fromresidents of Favela da Linha showed appreciation for the installation of the systems,and with the monthly bill, the residents are now able to make proof of address, whichfacilitates their relations with the rest of society.In brief, it is an important precedent that will guide other similar actions toward havinguniversal water and sewage services, especially in less favored areas, all to the benefit ofenvironmental sanitation, quality of life, health, and the environment.148 Relatório de Sustentabilidade 2009 149
