As of 2021, Banrisul has adopted a manual that establishes sustainability criteria for procurement and bidding processes. This tool enabled the inclusion in the Organization\u2019s procurement flow of product and service analyses related to the evaluation of the inputs used in production. As for the upstream chain, in 2022, Banrisul issued the Supplier Manual, a document with general guidelines on the Institution\u2019s relationship with suppliers and a chapter dedicated to environmental responsibility, including guidelines on appropriate waste management at the supplier, always in compliance with the current environmental legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waste generated by Banrisul\u2019s own activities came into the spotlight as of 2001, with the launch of the Reciclar<\/em> (Recycle) program, designed to encourage and promote the environmentally friendly collection and final disposal of the waste generated by the Institution, seeking to reduce the negative environmental impact of its activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, in order to reduce the generation of single-use plastic waste, Banrisul implemented Copinho Zero<\/em> (Zero Cups), a project designed to encourage all employees to replace plastic cups with reusable coffee mugs and water bottles. Banrisul also has a project to streamline back-office operations in its branches with the aim to reduce the volume of paper used in the issuance of reports. Safes that are no longer used by the Institution are donated so that they can be reused. If this is not possible, they are decharacterized, and the resulting material is recycled or reused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronic waste generated by the branches and units is sent to the Sustentare\/RS Program, with three possible destinations: donation, reconditioning and recycling. In order to appropriately handle the furniture that the Institution no longer uses, Banrisul donates these items to non-profit institutions interested in reusing them. Banrisul also disposes of fluorescent lamps in an environmentally friendly manner by sending these components to a company hired for this purpose. In 2022, 2,734 fluorescent lamps were sent for recycling. There is also reverse logistics for materials such as batteries, structured cables and printer toner refills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The organic waste generated by the Organization is sent for public collection in the locations where the branches are located. The waste generated by the Organization is centrally managed by Banrisul through the Sustainability Department, in particular, the waste management unit, which is responsible for managing contracts related to waste and for the receipt, temporary storage and environmentally friendly disposal of waste, through partners duly hired to handle each type of waste. Waste sent for disposal is controlled through the issuance of Waste Transportation Manifests (MTR, in Portuguese) and Final Destination Certificates (CDF, in Portuguese). All the waste destined for the Bank\u2019s waste management is measured quantitatively through control spreadsheets and later appropriately disposed of according to the type of waste. The waste disposal is demonstrated through the issuance of Waste Transportation Manifests and Final Destination Certificates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categoria_indicadores":[],"codigo":[1383],"empresas":[],"ano_indicador":[1520],"class_list":["post-5080","indicador","type-indicador","status-publish","hentry","codigo-gri-306-2-en","ano_indicador-2022-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
