Estudo das práticas de gestão ambiental utilizadas por uma indústria de derivados localizada em Sousa - PB.

Abstract

The search for environmental management aims to achieve production control through the administration of production processes in order to rationally use natural resources, renewable or not, thus aiming at their sustainable use. The present research was carried out in a derivatives industry in the city of Sousa-PB, aiming to know the environmental management practices applied by it. The methodology used was the application of a questionnaire divided into two parts, characterized as exploratory, bibliographic, descriptive and field research. The results show that the company does not adopt any Environmental Management System, but is aware of its environmental impacts and is looking for improvements so that it can provide better preservation of the environment, in addition to reducing the impacts of the manufacturing process, which can be very taxing on the environment. Therefore, it is essential to carry out a diagnosis, which must present the current situation, in order to know the practices of environmental management as well as their strengths and weaknesses to be worked on in an industry.
