摘要：The objective of this study was to analyze the existence of environmental actions in microenterprises in a section of the city of Manaus. The research, of an exploratory nature, had as a data collection instrument a questionnaire containing closed questions. In addition, an on-site visit and simple observation were carried out. Regarding environmental actions, it was possible to highlight the reuse of plastic packaging in solid waste storage, the use of natural light, work with lights off when possible and the non-use of air conditioning and other electronic equipment without necessity. With regard to the greater benefits generated by microenterprises through these actions, it was possible to verify the reduction of expenses in the consumption of water, energy and work materials. However, it is important that microenterprise support agencies reinforce the issue of corporate sustainability in order to clarify traders' doubts about what types of environmental actions can be incorporated into their ventures to generate beyond economic, social and environmental benefits.
