How manufacturers can use Ecobraz to obtain international ESG certifications

Introduction

Manufacturers seeking international ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) certifications face challenges related to environmental compliance and social responsibility. Ecobraz offers solutions in line with current standards, helping the industry to meet strict requirements and ensure the sustainability of the production process.

Understanding international ESG certifications

ESG certifications have gained prominence due to the requirement for practices that ensure environmental protection, social responsibility and effective governance. Standards such as ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 are examples of standards that support the assessment of these practices, as guided by the Ministry of the Environment (mma.gov.br).

In addition to these, transparency and traceability in waste management are essential aspects, as required by the National Solid Waste Policy (Law no. 12.305/2010) (planalto.gov.br).

Ecobraz's role in supporting manufacturers

The Ecobraz acts as a collective Reverse Logistics Organization, as determined by the National Solid Waste Policy. The organization helps manufacturers comply with legal obligations, offering infrastructure for the proper disposal and correct handling of electronic waste.

Manufacturers can use Ecobraz to manage the disposal and collection of electronics in a sustainable manner, aligning themselves with the requirements of ESG certifications, especially those related to the sustainable supply chain and social and environmental responsibility.

Electronic waste management and the importance of scheduling

A critical activity for ESG certification is electronic waste management. Ecobraz provides a system for electronic waste collection, guaranteeing proper treatment in accordance with current legislation, such as CONAMA Resolution 401/2008 (mma.gov.br).

Manufacturers can optimize processes by scheduling disposal, promoting the traceability and control that are requirements for international certifications.

Safe sanitization of data on media and hard drives

ESG certifications also involve the safety and protection of data during the disposal of equipment. For this reason, the sanitization of hard drives and other media is essential for compliance with information governance and security standards, such as those recommended by NIST (csrc.nist.gov).

Ecobraz offers specialized services for safe disposal of hard drives and media, guaranteeing the complete elimination of data, minimizing risks to corporate security and contributing to responsible governance.

Regulatory impact and alignment with Brazilian policies

Acting with Ecobraz also means being in compliance with Brazilian legislation, such as Law no. 14.026/2020, which regulates solid waste management in the country (planalto.gov.br), and the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) (sinir.gov.br).

This alignment is essential to prove the environmental and social commitment required in ESG certification audits.

Conclusion

Manufacturers who use Ecobraz's services strengthen their position in international ESG certification processes. Correct management of electronic waste, scheduling for sustainable collection and safe sanitization of media are fundamental pillars for legal compliance and sustaining responsible practices. This makes it possible to meet strict environmental, social and governance criteria.
