These aspects were identified through a methodology study case, obtaining information from different sources such as internal company data, field observation visits, and literature review. An initial diagnosis of the conditions of the company concerning environmental resulting affections was made. Subsequently, the environmental assessment was performed through Fernández Conessa matrix, Vester matrix, and eco-maps, which allowed the identification of environmental issues. Based on the outlines made from the methodologies used, the following programs were constructed: water savings and its efficient use program, energy efficient use program, solid wasting comprehensive management, shedding control program, atmospheric emissions control program, sustainable practices program, and healthy-safety work program. With the implementation of this programs, we are looking for the prevention, correction, mitigation, compensation, and decreasing of possible negative affections to the environment generated by the company. The implementation of this program will allow El Portillo LTDA Company be competitive in the new wave of green marketing, thus enabling a sustainable development leading to a maximum process quality and minimum environmentally generated affections.
