Abstract(s)
The Regional Council of Engineering and Agronomy of Amazonas (CREA-AM), a regional administration body located in the city of Manaus, Amazon, Brazil, supervises the execution of technological professions in order to prevent inadequate practices. In 2017, CREA-AM approved and implemented an inspection plan to supervise professionals and companies with potential to cause environmental impacts in the Amazon region. The present study assesses the effectiveness of this inspection plan and identifies improvement opportunities regarding the promotion of adequate environmental management practices in professionals’ and companies’ activities, particularly important in developing countries with a growing economy. The methodology used was data collection and analysis of records of administrative processes in the environmental area: 12 non-compliance processes in 2017 and 17 in 2018, and 202 Technical Responsibility Annotations in 2017 and 541 in 2018. The results led to the creation of a new model for the management of environmental surveillance in CREA-AM that is expected to contribute to the promotion of corporate social responsibility practices in the Amazon region.
