A IMPORTÂNCIA DO COMPLIANCE NO LICENCIAMENTO AMBIENTAL BRASILEIRO

Abstract

Environmental compliance plays a fundamental role in environmental licensing in Brazil, aiming to protect and preserve natural resources. By ensuring compliance with environmental laws and regulations, companies not only avoid sanctions and penalties but also strengthen their reputation and contribute to the sustainable development of the country. Companies face significant challenges when implementing environmental compliance practices, such as the complexity of environmental laws, lack of awareness, and pressure for immediate financial results. However, it is crucial for them to adopt proactive approaches to environmental compliance, seeking a balance between economic growth and environmental conservation. Effective environmental management requires the implementation of policies, processes, and internal controls that ensure compliance with environmental regulations, as well as the adoption of sustainability practices and reduction of environmental impact. Furthermore, it is important to invest in training and capacity-building of employees, so that everyone is aware of their responsibilities and best environmental practices. By embracing environmental compliance, companies contribute to the preservation of ecosystems, conservation of biodiversity, and mitigation of negative environmental impacts. Additionally, they benefit from gaining the trust of consumers, investors, and society as a whole, which can result in long-term competitive advantages and sustainable business opportunities.
