Análise do processo de auditoria ambiental em uma multinacional de engenharia consultiva: desafio e boas práticas instituição: TPF Engenharia Ltda.

Abstract

Since the 1970s, companies and large industries have increasingly turned their attention to environmental issues, driven by the growing awareness of the environmental impacts of industrial activities and the emergence of stricter environmental regulations. This movement led to the creation of global standards for environmental management, with ISO 14001:2015 being one of the most widely adopted. First published in 1996 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the standard establishes guidelines for creating, implementing, and continuously improving Environmental Management Systems (EMS), enabling greater control, compliance, and sustainability in organizational operations. In this context, this final course assignment, presented in the form of an internship report, aimed to analyze, through practical experience in a consulting engineering company, how ISO 14001 principles are applied in a corporate environment. The internship provided broad exposure to environmental management routines, including participation in internal and external audits, compliance control, the use of checklists as standardization tools, environmental data analysis, and the identification of improvement opportunities. In addition, part of the activities carried out was directly related to promoting environmental education and engaging employees through thematic dialogues and internal campaigns. These actions reinforced the role of environmental management not only as a regulatory requirement but as an institutional commitment to continuous improvement and environmental preservation. This practical experience made it possible to understand how environmental auditing functions as a tool for verifying and improving processes, contributing to the consolidation of a more conscious, responsible, and sustainability-oriented organizational culture.
