A Importância da Sensibilização Ambiental para a Minimização dos Impactos em uma Empresa do Ramo de Alimentação

Abstract

Environmental management is a continuous and adaptive process through which an organization determines its objectives, goals, and strategies related to environmental protection and the safety of internal employees, customers, and the community. This work aims to raise awareness based on the relationship of environmental responsibility to minimize organizational impacts on the lives of employees in a food industry company. The study examined the perception of employees of a sushi chain about their social responsibility in the activities they perform, conducting a bibliographic survey, visits to research sites, application of questionnaires, and lectures. The results revealed that although there is a certain awareness of the negative impacts caused by solid and liquid waste, there is a gap between being aware of the problem and being sensitized to promote behavioral changes aiming at higher environmental quality and company profitability.
