摘要：Environmental awareness has grown globally; in addition, the social pressure on businesses has increased so that organizations may demonstrate a satisfactory environmental performance, while minimizing its potential pollution. This paper aims to implement an environmental audit model structured on specifications and recommendations of ISO 19011 and ISO 14001 in order to improve the Environmental Management System of a food company, located in the micro-region of Natal-RN. The research utilized was exploratory and descriptive, with the model proposed in three phases: audit planning, application of the model and audit conclusions. The results concluded that it is necessary that the company gets a greater focus on environmental aspects and impacts evaluation. Although there is an assessment procedure, there was no evidence of the records containing the aspects and impacts evaluation. Thus, there is no reliability in the legal requirements and other restrictions survey, as well as the establishment of objectives, goals and programs. However, the application of the model allowed a practical and critical analysis of the actual situation of the company, thus enabling the assessment of strengths and opportunities for improvement in management.
