Abstract(s)
Com o passar dos anos, a sociedade em geral e a indústria em particular, tomaram cada vez mais consciência dos impactos das atividades humanas no ambiente. Assim, as questões relacionadas com o ambiente têm ganho notório destaque. Desta forma, as organizações, estão sujeitas a cada vez mais medidas no sentido de diminuir os impactos que as suas atividades têm para com o meio ambiente.
Houve, portanto, a necessidade de se fazer uma auditoria ambiental pois, a mesma permite assegurar o cumprimento das normas ambientais e evitar custos desnecessários à organização, danos ambientais e consequências para a saúde pública, bem como dar garantias aos clientes que a empresa cumpre todas as normas necessárias. Possibilita ainda a implementação das medidas necessárias para garantir o cumprimento dos requisitos, corrigindo lacunas do SGA, identificando os programas de monitorização e os ensaios ambientais. Por outro lado, permite demonstrar que a organização tem uma crescente preocupação com os impactos da mesma no meio ambiente. A empresa Konig Modulo Portugal, Lda. opera na indústria no sector automóvel desde o ano de 2015, tendo como principal atividade o fabrico de componentes de canos de escape de automóveis. A empresa, demonstrou-se preocupada com os impactos que as suas atividades tinham para com o meio ambiente e também com a imagem que passavam para o exterior, assim, a Gestão de Topo decidiu implementar um Sistema de Gestão Ambiental (SGA) e tentar a concessão da Certificação pela norma ISO 14001:2015. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os resultados de uma auditoria ambiental numa organização. Mais concretamente estudar as suas conformidades, não conformidades e oportunidade de melhoria, na Konig Modulo Portugal, Lda.
Após a Auditoria verificaram-se que dos 32 requisitos definidos na estrutura da ISO 14001:2015, 20 apresentaram conformidade, 5 evidenciaram oportunidades de melhoria, 6 revelaram estar não conformes e que o requisito 8.1. Planeamento e controlo operacional, constituiu tanto uma oportunidade de melhoria e uma não conformidade.
Over the years, society in general, and industry in particular, have become increasingly aware of the impacts of human activities on the environment. Thus, issues related to the environment have gained notoriety. As a result, organizations are subject to more and more measures to reduce the impacts that their activities have on the environment. Therefore, an environmental audit was necessary to ensure compliance with environmental standards and avoid unnecessary costs to the organization, environmental damage, and public health consequences, as well as to provide assurance to customers that the company meets all necessary standards. It also makes it possible to implement the necessary measures to ensure compliance with requirements, correcting gaps in the EMS, identifying monitoring programs and environmental testing. On the other hand, it allows to demonstrate that the organization has a growing concern with its impacts on the environment. The company Konig Modulo Portugal, Lda. operates in the automotive industry since 2015, having as its main activity the manufacture of automobile exhaust pipe components. The company, showed concern with the impacts that their activities had on the environment and also with the image that passed to the outside, so the Top Management decided to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) and try to grant the ISO 14001:2015 Certification. The main objective of this work is to analyze the results of an environmental audit in an organization.
