Item Diseño del sistema de gestión ambiental en AvalQuímico SAS(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2019) Obando Larrahondo, Karen Lizeth; Hurtado Suaza, Valentina; Pérez Vidal, Andrea (Directora)Environmental management systems are becoming increasingly important in companies as a strategy to reduce environmental pollution and increase the competitiveness of the company. This research was based on the design of an environmental management system (SGA) based on the NTC-ISO 14001: 2015 standard for the Avalquímico SAS company focused on the provision of laboratory analytical and physicochemical analysis services. To achieve the design of the EMS, an initial diagnosis was made of the practices used by the company for environmental protection through interviews with the company's employees, the identification of the elements of the affected environment, the analysis of the applicable legal requirements and the Sanitary inspections Subsequently, the EMS was planned taking into account the requirements of ISO 14001: 2015, collecting information and analyzing it and identifying improvement actions and internal control means for the system. After having made the initial diagnosis, 33 actions were listed to elaborate the design of the EMS, where the environmental policy and objectives were defined, the scope of the system was determined, procedures and formats were created and / or updated and finally designed Internal control means for the environmental management system. Once the system was designed, a final diagnostic matrix was made that showed a 68% improvement over the current compliance with the requirements of the standard in the company. With the results of this research project, the Avalquímico company benefited from obtaining a GHS design, which will allow it to advance in the implementation and certification.
