The implantation of pig agroindustry in a region causes environmental impacts, while these businesses use the raw material extracted from natural resources and turn their processing into products. As a result, they get waste which causes the soil, rivers, water table and air contamination. Facing this scenario, the companies cannot ignore the stakeholders’ interests, that are constituted by those who affect or can be affected by the activity of the companies. In this sense, it is fundamental that the posture of the contemporary business develops according to the necessities demanded by the environment it is inset, and which strategy be planned according to the sustainable development. The main goal of this research was to develop a model, through the analysis of part of the supply chain of the pig industry, which reaches a better relationship between these companies and the environment. In order to obtain part of the information, some instruments were used, such as data collection of direct observation, interviews, records and documents analysis. Through the quantitative analysis together with the quality study, it was possible to verify that this activity causes a negative impact in both environmental and social field, which is caused by the lack of an environmental control model. This way, the present study proposes a model, constituted by actions that may lead this activity to a reduction of its impacts, to get its feasibility and the environmental reach, which contributes this way to a better balance of this productive process related to the environmental, social and economic field.
