A Importância e desafios da contabilidade ambiental

Abstract

The present work sought to demonstrate the importance of environmental accounting for organizations, performing the concept of environmental accounting, what are the functions of this area for companies, as well as investigating the way environmental accounting operates within an organization. For this purpose, the bibliographical research was used in a systematized and organized way, seeking to analyze the theme proposed, in order to provide a better knowledge about it. The choice of theme becomes relevant in that the theme is still very little known, despite addressing one of the processes that most pollute the environment, that is, organizations. Finally, it is concluded that environmental accounting has the capacity to improve the management of a company, allowing managers to better manage the company under the environmental approach, without incurring expenses, thus allowing greater control over the environmental impact caused by their processes.
