Da teoria à prática: contabilidade ambiental na Martifer Construções

Abstract

No contexto actual, as condicionantes ambientais são determinantes para a competitividade das empresas, uma vez que o mercado se encontra cada vez mais competitivo e obriga as empresas a estarem mais atentas ao controlo dos seus impactos ambientais. O ambiente não representa apenas uma restrição a actividade empresarial, representa também novas oportunidades de negócio. A nova concepção de todo o processo produtivo, dando mais atenção aos detalhes, permite atingir níveis de qualidade, produtividade e lucros superiores, criando postos de trabalho e conduzindo a produtos e tecnologias superiores do ponto de vista ambiental. A eliminação da poluição desnecessária, a eliminação do desperdício sob a forma de poluição, o qual se transforma em desperdício económico, conduz a eliminação das ineficiências tornando possível aumentar simultaneamente a produtividade, os lucros e a eficácia ambiental. Perante este cenário, a Contabilidade, passou a ser questionada relativamente ao desempenho ecológico das empresas, assumindo perante o exterior um novo papel. Esta dissertação, tem como principal objectivo relatar a importância das questões ambientais na vida das empresas, evidenciando em concreto a forma como uma empresa, a Martifer - Construções Metalomecânicas, S.A. trata estas matérias, uma vez que as empresas têm responsabilidade na criação de valor e na protecção do meio ambiente e deverão adoptar práticas de gestão ambiental que Ihes permitam um conhecimento claro dos impactos provocados, bem como, a disponibilização de recursos (técnicos, humanos e financeiros) que garantam a sua minimização e controlo. Pretendo ainda, que esta dissertação se torne num contributo para as empresas que tenham como objectivo a introdução das questões ambientais na sua contabilidade. Procurei assim, através da Contabilidade Ambiental, que se tem mostrado como um dos instrumentos relevantes para as empresas que procuram a eficiência sócio ambiental, demonstrar que através da identificação e registo de activos, passivos, custos e proveitos ambientais, as empresas podem continuar a criar valor e a tomar decisões baseadas em custos e benefícios devidamente medidos. O respeito pelo ambiente e pela comunidade, são um dos factores mais importantes para o desenvolvimento e deverá estar presente num qualquer sistema de gestão.

Within the current context, environmental conditions are decisive for company competitiveness. The market has become more and more competitive, requiring companies to better control their environmental impact. The environment does not only present constraints to business activity. It also provides new business opportunities. The new concept of the entire production process, providing more attention to detail, enables attaining higher quality, productivity, and profit levels, creating job posts and leading to better products and technologies from an environmental point of view. Eliminating unnecessary pollution, eliminating waste under the form of pollution, which transforms itself into economic waste, leads to eliminating inefficiencies. This makes it possible to simultaneously increase productivity, profit, and environmental efficiency. Given this scenario, company accounting departments began to be questioned as to their ecological performance, assuming a new role before outside entities. The main objective of this paper is to convey the importante of environmental issues on company life, showing specifically how a company - Martifer - Construções Metalomecânicas, S.A. - handles these matters, since companies have a responsibility to create value and protect the environment. They should adopt environmental management practices that enable them to have a clear knowledge of the impact they cause, as well as of the available (technical, human and financial) resources that guarantee minimizing and controlling that impact. This paper is also meant as a contribution to companies that have the goal of introducing environmental issues into their accounting departments. Thus, I have sought, through Environmental Accounting - which has shown itself to be a relevant instrument for companies that seek socio-environmental efficiency - to demonstrate that through the identification and recording of assets, liabilities, environmental costs and income, companies may continue to create value and make decisions based on duly measured costs and benefits. Respect for the environment and for the community is one of the most important factors towards development and should be present in any management system.
