Résumé:
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.
