COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS AND COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY OF POST-CONSUMPTION PHSE OF ELECTRONIC WASTE

The environmental compliance is an instrument of undeniable relevance and effectiveness in complying with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) implemented by Law n. 12.305/10, especially for the treatment of electronic waste in the post-consumption. Thus, the study becomes necessary in view that criminal sanctions and impose fine enforcement are not able to restore the balance of the environment. Based on Agenda 2030, companies must adopt sustainable development policies. The compliance programs work prior to the practice of crime, through top-down supervision and the implementation of a new ethical culture of social and environmental responsibility of organizations, which involve respect for the human being and the environment. The hypothetical-deductive method is used with the support of the jurisprudential, bibliographical analysis and reports on the electronic waste. It was possible to deduce that the relevance of the topic makes compliance practice mandatory for the fulfillment of social and environmental obligations, avoiding denunciations with environmental technical agencies and criminal prosecution, which may lead to brand devaluation and even disregard of legal personality.
