Abstract

Abstract:The present research aimed to design an Environmental Management System (EMS) and the metrics for its use for the company SIEMENS HEALTHCARE CIA. LTDA applying the ISO 14001: 2015. First, the research was conceptualized, including the regulations and norms under study and the applicable legal framework. Afterwards, the materials and methods in the area of study were analysed and the Initial Environmental Review (IER) was subsequently developed; this allowed the identification of already existing environmental best practices in SHS EC, which are carried out in accordance to the standard, but are not documented nor backed up by an EMS; as a result, the proposal of this document achieves its objective. The processes of the company were classified in three central axes: sales, customer service and office operations. It is on these axes that the ISO 14001:2015 was applied, including all required plans of action, policies and procedures, as well as the design of the EMS in accordance to the recommended format To conclude, a communication plan was developed to ensure the socialization of the designed EMS with all concerned inside the company.
