To do this we sought to study the reality of the environmental impacts of the textile industry describing the processes of spinning and weaving and the impacts generated by each step. We studied two companies with one another without certification and certification and sought to identify ways of managing these impacts of entry and exits, as water consumption and waste generation, respectively. The identification of these significant impacts was critical to achieve the key evaluate control measures used by textile industries. / O presente trabalho tem por objetivo descrever os impactos ambientais da indústria têxtil e verificar ações de gerenciamento, prevenção, controle e tratamento desses impactos pelas indústrias têxteis cearenses. Para isso, buscou-se estudar a realidade dos impactos ambientais das atividades da indústria têxtil descrevendo os seus processos produtivos de fiação e tecelagem e os respectivos impactos gerados por cada etapa. Foram estudadas duas empresas, uma com certificação e outra sem, verificando-se as formas de gerenciamento dos aspectos ambientais de entrada e de saída, como consumo de água e de energia, e a geração de resíduos, gases e efluentes, respectivamente. Pode-se concluir que, embora a certificação ISO 14.001, experimentada por uma das empresas, possibilitou a consolidação do seu sistema de gestão ambiental, as performances ambientais das empresas estudadas não apresentaram diferenças significativas.

This dissertation studies one of the newest tools in environmental policy in the developing world context - that of voluntary environmental programmes (VEPs). Developed and promoted in the past few decades by policy practitioners looking to regulate environmental pollution without saddling enterprises and governments with high regulatory costs, VEPs remain vastly under-studied, especially when compared with market instruments and the long-standing command and control approach. Fundamental questions such as who the likely participants are, why firms would voluntarily take on added costs of environmental improvement, and whether any financial and environmental benefits arise from participation remain largely unanswered. This gap in the literature is particularly severe for the case of developing countries. While VEPs in general and ISO 14001 in particular have rapidly increased across the developing world, the understanding of their implications in the academic literature trail far behind. This dissertation aims to fill some of this gap in the existing literature by using unique firm level data and applying rigorous empirical micro-econometric methods to analyse the adoption of the ISO 14001 international voluntary scheme in Thailand. The study focuses on three core manufacturing industries - food and beverages, textiles and wearing apparel, and electronics and electrical appliances, chosen to represent three main types of manufacturing activities in the country. The study finds that both macroeconomic and industry-specific factors influence firms' participation in the ISO 14001 scheme. It also finds that the degrees of environmental impact from programme adoption vary by industry, and that although participation in the programme requires non-trivial commitments of the firm's resources, participating firms are not placed at a financial disadvantage when compared with non-adopting firms.

The goal of this thesis is consumption of ISO norms within OK Mont Inc. company, specifically the EMS as one of the optional activities of an organization to the environmental protection. The theoretical part defines and compares approaches to the implementation of the EMS – the norm of ISO 14001 and the EMAS program. The practical part describes the implementation process and the EMS functioning within the company. The attention is mainly drawn to reasons, draft, costs and benefits connected with the implementation and the maintenance of the system.
