This Saturday (28) marks the celebration of International Data Protection Day, which highlights the importance of guaranteeing fundamental rights such as freedom and privacy for people. Within this context, Atvos, one of the largest ethanol producers in Brazil, has done a solid job over the last few years to ensure the adequate treatment of personal information transiting through the company, in compliance with Brazil’s General Data Protection Act (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados – LGPD).

In the current crop (2022/2023), scheduled to end at the end of March, the company trained approximately 2,300 Members who work in a wide range of activities and areas. These actions were carried out in the offices in the cities of São Paulo and Campinas, São Paulo (SP), as well as in the agro-industrial units in the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, Sul Mato Grosso, and São Paulo, totaling 1,800 hours of training.

With the adequate training of the public involved, Atvos mapped more than 180 processes in which personal data are processed and classified risk situations for each one of them. Using its corporate governance software, the company continuously manages the risk of activities, addressing corrective actions whenever necessary. Additionally, internal awareness campaigns are carried out, always with the aim of disseminating good information security practices.

“Atvos has always acted rigorously with regard to the respect and integrity of the personal data of its stakeholders. Since 2020, with the arrival of the LGPD, we have been updating our internal processes with frequent training,” said Daniel Marcondes, responsible for Risk Management and LGPD.

“There is a great effort by the teams to maintain a safe and transparent environment regarding what we do with the personal data of those with whom we interact. We perceive this engagement based on the adherence to the training offered, which contributes positively to the solidity of our privacy policy and our organizational culture,” concluded the executive.
