Responsible purchasing: ESG clauses for electronic waste with Ecobraz

Introduction to Responsible Purchasing and ESG in Electronic Disposal

With the growing demand for environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices in organizations, the incorporation of specific clauses in procurement contracts has become essential to ensure the proper electronic disposal of obsolete equipment and devices. Ecobraz stands out as a national reference in collection and sanitization services, in line with current legislation, promoting sustainability and mitigating environmental and information security risks.

Importance of ESG Clauses in Procurement Contracts

ESG clauses strengthen the commitment to social and environmental responsibility by establishing clear guidelines for safe and sustainable electronic disposal. They ensure compliance with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010 Law No. 12.305/2010), which requires the environmentally appropriate disposal of electronic waste, protecting the environment and public health.

Applicable Rules and Regulations

In addition to Law No. 12.305/2010, CONAMA Resolution No. 401/2008 (Resolução CONAMA nº 401/2008) regulates the management of electrical and electronic waste, defining reverse logistics and the responsibilities of generators. In the sphere of information security, NIST Special Publication 800-88 (NIST SP 800-88), which guides the safe sanitization of storage devices, is essential for contracts involving the destruction of data on digital media.

Recommended Practices for Electronic Disposal in ESG Contracts

When drawing up ESG clauses, it is recommended to establish the use of certified services that ensure the collection and proper treatment of electronic waste. The type of electronic waste collection should include safe transportation, sorting and final disposal according to strict environmental standards, avoiding environmental and legal liabilities.

For equipment containing sensitive data, clauses requiring the secure destruction of hard drives and media are essential, guaranteeing protection against information leaks and compliance with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD - Law No. 13.709/2018, Law No. 13.709/2018).
