Nowadays, it is not possible to conceive of a respectable company or entrepreneur without Environmental Management being intrinsic to it.

Environmental management is a business administration system that emphasizes sustainability. In this way, it aims to use administrative practices and methods to reduce as much as possible the environmental impact of economic activities on natural resources.
