Abstract

In the present work, it was proposed to Design of an Environmental System Management (ESM) for the Environmental Management Department of the Autonomous Government, considering the impact of the processes carried out for the environment and the population in general. The methodology applied in the field research was established in ISO 14001: 2004, where an Initial Environmental Review (IER) is specified as part of the diagnosis of the real situation of the department, for which recourse was made to the observation and application of instruments as the interview, activity description sheet, matrix of environmental impact assessment and correspondence matrix. Subsequent to this and with the information obtained, the ESM was designed, with an environmental policy, environmental management manual, registration document, identification procedures and environmental programs. Once completed, the system is socialized with all those involved.
