For companies

Reduce operational losses and turn waste into measurable efficiency.

Optima ESG structures surplus food management with control, traceability and legal certainty, in line with Brazil’s Law 15,224/2025 (PNCPDA, the national policy against food loss and waste).

Plans are for companies with a Brazilian registration (CNPJ). Tax figures follow Brazilian law.

Proof any auditor can check

Four mechanisms support every donation recorded on the platform. You, your accountant or your auditors can check all of them.

A record nobody changes afterwards

The audit trail is immutable and cryptographically chained. Once recorded, evidence cannot be changed, not even by Optima.

Changing a record breaks the chain, and verification shows it.

You donate to organizations that were checked

Every non-profit is vetted against official Brazilian government registries (CEIS and CNEP, the federal sanctions registries, and the forced-labour employer registry published on the Transparency Portal) and the status of its company registration (CNPJ).

Any auditor can check, without logging in

From the Pro plan on, each certificate and seal carries public validation by QR code. Customers, auditors or the press confirm it directly in the browser. On the Enterprise plan, the scan resolves against the full audit trail.

Every number has a legal basis

Tax calculations cite the applicable law (Law 9,249/1995 and Law 15,224/2025) and are updated when the rules change.

Before choosing a plan

The tax side, in Brazil

Brazilian companies taxed under the actual-profit regime (Lucro Real) can deduct donations to qualified non-profits from their corporate income tax base (IRPJ and CSLL), up to 2% of operating profit (Law 9,249/1995, art. 13, §2, III). The cap applies to the deductible amount, not to the tax saved.

For companies with annual taxable profit above R$ 240,000, the combined rate is 34% (IRPJ 15% plus a 10% surtax, and CSLL 9%). Complementary Law 224/2025 reduces the incentive by 10%, so the net effect reaches up to 30.6% of the amount donated.

Optima calculates this for every donation, cites the law behind each figure and keeps the documents the company needs to support the deduction.

Estimates for guidance only. They are not tax advice and must be confirmed by the company’s accountant.

* Donating more never generates an extra charge. On paid plans, volume works as a flexible annual balance: each month adds the plan allowance to your balance, and what you do not use stays available for the following months of the cycle. A peak month uses the accumulated balance at no extra cost.
** Tax benefit subject to the taxable profit actually assessed. Applies to companies under the actual-profit regime (Lucro Real), under Brazilian law (Law 15,224/2025). Check with your accountant.
