Proposta de um sistema de gestão integrado entre a NBR ISO 14001:2015 e a BS 8001:2017

Abstract

In the industrial environment, organizations need a clear and objective way of thinking about the facts that occur in relation to the environment. This thinking needs to go beyond economic interests; many companies only think about competitiveness, and ethics and common sense are more than necessary to achieve sustainable development. For this development to happen, the Environmental Management System (EMS) must be used, which is a tool for organizations to manage environmental issues. Another concept that should be used in this context is the Circular Economy, which assists companies in social and economic changes aimed at systematic effectiveness and collaboration between parts of this model. The objective of this paper is to propose an integrated management system between NBR 14001:2015, a standard on Environmental Management System, and BS 8001:2017, a standard on Circular Economy. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review was conducted and similarities between the two standards were identified. The result generated was a proposal based on a continuous improvement cycle composed of 8 phases in the Planning stage, 7 phases in the Doing stage, 3 phases in the Checking stage, and 3 phases in the Acting stage. It is hoped that this model can help organizations to implement an Integrated Management System between ISO 14001 and BS 8001.
