Gestão ambiental em empresas públicas e sociedades de economia mista do estado de Minas Gerais.

Public and Semi-Public Corporations, pressed to take environmentally responsible positions, use programs, projects and actions related to environment management. In this sense, this paper aims to identify models and environmental management actions used by Public and Semi-Public Corporations of the Minas Gerais State. From the data related to the environmental dimension collected, we could analyze the models and management actions developed in each company and relate them to the environmental management approaches. The results showed that the models implemented commonly were the environmental licensing and social responsibility. Environmental education and environmental management systems were represented in fewer organizations. The Semi-Public Corporations invested more in such models. It was concluded that the models need to be adopted more frequently in more organizations to assist in the search for environmental problems solutions, benefiting the environment, the economy and society as a whole.
