| description | This study is about the opportunities and problems of the implementation of the environmental management system ISO 14001 in Uruguayan companies. The driving forces and the process of implementation are studied.
Since few case studies of the implementation of ISO 14001 in developing countries have been conducted, this report will provide additional knowledge in the field of environmental management in companies of developing countries.
In the four case studies in this report, the most common driving force for implementing ISO 14001 is the requirements from international customers. Other important motives are the demands of the corporation, commercial benefits and general environmental concern.
The most important problem all companies have faced with the implementation is the lack of resources. The deficient regulation of the country and the low commercial benefits in the internal market are other problems. The most important benefits perceived by the companies are the maintenance of international customers, cost reductions through less energy use and garbage recycling and the long-term gains from the "green image" of the company. |

Este estudio se trata sobre las oportunidades y problemas de la implementación del sistema de gestión ambiental ISO 14001 en compañías uruguayas. Las fuerzas pujantes y el proceso de implementación son estudiadas. Al ser pocos los casos de estudio conducidos sobre la implementación de ISO 14001 en países en vías de desarrollo, este informe brindará información adicional en el campo de gestión ambiental en compañías de estos países. En tres de los cuatro casos de estudio del presente informe, el denominador común para la implementación de ISO 14001, es el requisito de clientes internacionales. Otros motivos importantes son la demanda de la corporación, beneficios comerciales y preocupación por el medio ambiente. El problema más importante que todas las compañías han enfrentado con la implementación es la falta de recursos. La regulación deficiente del país y los pocos beneficios comerciales en el mercado interno son otros problemas. Los beneficios más importantes percibidos por las compañías son el mantenimiento de los clientes internacionales, reducción de costos a través de menos energía utilizada y las ganancias a largo plazo de la �imagen verde� de la compañía. 2005-06-09 Other NonPeerReviewed application/pdf sv https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/11005/1/malmborg_a_170919.pdf Malmborg, Åsa, 2004.
