Abstract

The objective of this article is to present the actions and strategies that a company of the agribusiness sector has undertaken towards the reduction of its environmental impacts. The empirical analysis was performed in a medium sized organization located in the Northwest region of the State of RS. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview and the research is qualitative. The results demonstrate that the company, in general, has sought to comply with the legal requirements, corresponding to the concept of reactive action, however, it is noticed that there are initiatives, even at an early stage, of actions aimed at environmental preservation that correspond to the second group: proactive actions. The research confirms that the identification and evaluation of environmental impacts in organizations, regardless of sector and size of the enterprise, is an important tool in the creation of guidelines that codify environmental management based on the preservation of the environment, thus contributing to local sustainable development and regional levels.
