Abstract

Worldwide, several tools have been developed for adequate environmental management that can be applied to organizational systems, processes and products. All these tools are aimed at minimizing environmental impacts and risks. This project proposes an Environmental Management System for the company Pantuflas CM Original, so that it becomes an instrument that allows compliance with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015. First, a diagnosis of the current environmental situation of the company Pantuflas CM Original was carried out. An environmental policy is proposed with principles aimed at the continuous improvement of the environmental management system, mentioning that its proper functioning will depend on the company's top management, as well as the collaboration of all the company's personnel. Based on the check list carried out in the company with respect to the requirements demanded by the ISO 14001: 2015 standard, it was shown that the levels of compliance with the environmental management system (EMS) compared to the standard taken as base, they are very low with only 37% compliance with the entire standard. The main shortcomings are the lack of documentation, records and procedures required by the standard as documented information. Finally, an environmental management manual is proposed as the key documentation for the environmental management system, consisting of 8 procedures, 21 records, 1 instruction manual and 10 documents that guarantee the correct operation of the EMS in order to improve the company's environmental performance.
