Quesitos de auditoria ambiental como ferramenta no processo de melhoria de desempenho ambiental: estudo de caso em uma fábrica de rações

Abstract

In Brazil, biodiversity offers a variety of raw materials that drive industrial advances for economic development. Companies need to be flexible and are required to apply environmental audits (AA), as a guarantee of responsibility with corrective actions while maintaining environmental preservation. In this context, this work aims to develop a verification model (check list) with AA requirements as a management tool and reflection of the environmental performance of a feed factory, located in the Missões/RS region. The methodology used in the research was qualitative, descriptive, documentary and participatory observational with a case study. For the elaboration of the AA requirements of this model, the ANBT NBR ISO 14.001: 2005 series standards were used in the factory's productive sector and ANBT NBR ISO 19.011: 2011 on AA for the elaboration of questions and surveys for environmental improvements. With the preparation of the checklist, 94 items were applied to the managerial part and 77 items to the operational part. With the environmental requirements for the application of AA, it is expected that the company can identify existing conformities and non-conformities in order to improve the environmental management of the enterprise and add positive changes to the industry.
