The environment has been suffering due to the impacts caused by human beings; nevertheless, over the time the companies have noticed the preservation of the environment is important for business. The global pressure over the preservation forced the organizations to change their management system, developing the environmental management system (EMS) making the companies start investing in technology to improve their productive processes concerning with the reduction of the environmental impacts which were generated as rivers, air, earth and other impact pollution. A lot of environmental certifications arose to cooperate with the companies to contribute with the environment as well as to improve their own environmental management system, resulting in an increase in competitiveness for them in the market.

These projects are evaluated by experts in environment, sustainability and social responsibility from Brazil and other countries who were indicated by other professionals.

This work has as goal present the benefits and challenges faced by the companies that seek for the environmental certification such as ISO 14001, FSC, LEED and AQUA as well as the Benchmarking Brazil Program.
