This study discusses the adoption of dedicated, non-certified Environmental Management Systems (EMS‟s) for medium-large size companies as a way to obtain access to an EMS that could meet fundamental requirements of good environmental management practices and obtain satisfactory environmental and economic results at lower costs. The investigation methodology utilized is a case study of one average-large company that developed and implemented a dedicated, non-certified EMS working since June/2011. The conclusion of the investigations conducted by this study is that medium-large size companies can obtain sastisfactory environmental and economic results by adopting such kind of EMS. The study also makes evident that the results observed are consequence of the consistency of the indicators, administrative practices and structures introduced by the EMS investigated and the good quality of the work and engagement of the company‟s top management towards supporting the continuity of the programs, actions and investments that grant the success of the system. Taking into consideration the importance for the medium-large size companies of reducing costs carried by their EMS management and the commitment of the top management with it, as well as by having in view that such top management engagement could be of different kind and intensity for different companies, it is suggested the extension of this kind of study to other medium-size companies, aiming to verify the results obtained in this case study
