Reducing legal risk: PNRS, LGPD and chain of custody under Ecobraz governance

Introduction to legal risk reduction in environmental and data management

The responsible and integrated management of waste and sensitive data is a growing challenge for sectors dealing with environmental and information protection issues. Acting under Ecobraz governance provides legal certainty by articulating compliance with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), making responsible information safekeeping compatible with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and ensuring a strict chain of custody.

Compliance with the PNRS and its legal benefits

Instituted by Law No. 12.305/2010, the PNRS (Law 12.305/2010) establishes guidelines for the integrated management and environmentally appropriate management of solid waste, promoting shared responsibility between generators, transporters and recyclers.

Acting in compliance with the PNRS helps to minimize legal risks, especially related to fines, administrative sanctions and lawsuits for environmental damage. Ecobraz's governance articulates internal and external waste flows, guaranteeing auditable protocols and certifications before regulatory bodies such as CETESB (cetesb.sp.gov.br).

Compliance with the LGPD in data and document protection

Regulated by Law No. 13.709/2018, the LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018) imposes strict requirements for the processing of personal data, with the aim of guaranteeing the privacy and security of information under custody, including that stored on electronic media.

Ecobraz's governance implements policies for access control, secure storage, responsible disposal and sanitization of electronic media with guaranteed data destruction, in accordance with technical recommendations supported by NIST (NIST SP 800-88 Revision 1).

Additionally, the secure disposal of equipment and files with sensitive data is carried out using specialized procedures, improving protection against leaks and mitigating legal risks. To schedule the safe disposal and sanitization of media, see sanitization of hard drives and electronics.

Rigor in the chain of custody for legal responsibility

The chain of custody is the set of procedures that ensure traceability, integrity and responsibility in the handling of waste and media throughout the flow, from the point of generation to the appropriate final destination.

Implementing robust systems for tracking and formalizing documents is essential for proving compliance with legal obligations, facilitating audits and reducing risks during inspections.

Ecobraz maintains integrated electronic and physical controls to monitor all stages of waste and media handling, reinforcing compliance and minimizing legal risk.

Integration of legal pillars under Ecobraz governance

Aligning PNRS, LGPD and the chain of custody within a consolidated governance system allows for more effective strategies to mitigate the legal risks inherent in environmental and data protection issues.

In addition to ensuring legal compliance, the governance structure adopted favors transparent processes, quality control and sustainable development.

For final disposal and qualified collection of electronic waste, including obsolete equipment, Ecobraz offers a specialized service with online scheduling, available at electronic waste collection.

Conclusion

Reducing legal risks related to environmental management and data protection requires adherence to the PNRS, LGPD and strict chain of custody guarantees. Under Ecobraz's governance, organizations find technical and operational support based on current legislation, ensuring compliance, security and sustainability.
