Abstract

Este artículo evalúa la gestión ambiental de las pequenas y medianas empresas del sector arcilla presentes en el municipio de San José de Cúcuta y su área metropolitana. Para ello, se aplicó una encuesta a cuarenta empresas ubicadas en los municipios de Cúcuta, El Zulia, Villa del Rosario y Los Patios. La información recolectada se refirió a los instrumentos, las acciones y la gestión ambiental desarrollada por estas organizaciones. En su conjunto, los resultados se analizaron a través del componente de gestión ambiental del Modelo de Modernización para la Gestión de las Organizaciones. Se concluye que si bien las empresas presentan buenos indicadores en cada una de las variables, se deben exigir acciones preventivas y correctivas en aspectos como ruido, departamento de gestión ambiental, tratamiento de residuos sólidos, emisiones atmosféricas, ciclo de vida del producto, optimización de procesos y selección y uso de materias primas.******This article evaluates environmental management by small and medium enterprises operating in the clay sector in the municipality of San José de Cúcuta, Colombia, and its metropolitan area. For the purpose, forty businesses in the municipalities of Cúcuta, El Zulia, Villa del Rosario and Los Patios were asked to respond to a questionnaire. Information was gathered on the instruments and actions used by the firms in the general field of environmental management. The results were analyzed jointly using the environmental management component of the Model of Modernization for Organizational Management. The article concludes that while the indicators are positive for every variable, preventive and corrective measures should be put in place to ensure adequate noise control, the creation of dedicated environmental management departments in firms, appropriate solid waste treatment, the control of atmospheric emissions, attention to product life cycles, the optimization of processes, and the selection and use of raw materials.
