Abstract

Several factors, such as the current environmental degradation, the increase in legal penalties and the growing awareness of the market, have disseminated in organizations the need to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS), mainly seeking to comply with the relevant legislation and improve its image with the market. However, in order only to obtain the desired certification against ISO 14001, many companies do not take advantage of this opportunity to adopt modern and proactive environmental technologies, such as Clean Production (PL), capable of optimizing the use of resources and preventing pollution. The implementation of the PL provides greater cost reduction and increased profitability, as, in addition to favoring source control measures, it seeks greater eco-efficiency in the use of natural resources. PL addresses the complete cycle of products or processes, identifying opportunities and solutions in relation to the challenge of avoiding or minimizing inherent waste, reducing costs with its treatment and destination, adding value throughout its production chain. This article presents a proposal for the implementation of an EMS, considering the requirements and format of ISO 14001, integrated with the principles of PL, at all stages of the system. At the end, a differential synthesis of this proposal in relation to the traditional EMS is also presented.
