"Executives must take into consideration the effects their companies have on worldwide ecosystems. Governments and clients will charge each company their share of environmental responsibility." (CRONON, William - Univ. de Wisconsin, writer)

The market has increasingly demanded proactive actions related to preserving the environment, education and society’s well-being. Organizations need to identify their socio-environmental aspects and deal with their impact through actions that both aim for the improvement of the service provided and the population’s quality of life, seeking to effectively minimize social and environmental impact.

Socio-environmental Management is defined by the ethical and transparent relationship of companies with all of the publics they are related to, as well as the establishment of business goals that are compatible with society’s sustainable development, preserving environmental and cultural resources for generations to come, respecting diversity and promoting the reduction of social inequality. Faced with this scenario, Socio-environmental Management has become fundamental to the day-to-day operations of organizations. Senac-RS, aligning our Environmental Policy and the adopted management tools: PGQP (Rio Grande do Sul Quality and Productivity Program) and ISO 9001, excels at balancing economic growth, social development and environmental preservation.

With the objective to promote social and economic development and quality of life for our communities and organizations, SENAC-RS can support your company’s social and environmental responsibility initiatives. To this end, we offer training, advisory and consultancy projects, supporting companies in complying with their share of socio-environmental responsibility.

Reeducate, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle is represented by a pro-active attitude towards promoting practical actions that aim towards reduction, recycling, reusage and better use of waste and other materials that are part of our daily lives, such as water, electricity, paper, plastic cups, packaging and saturated oils, among others.

In addition to these actions, the incorporation of socio-environmental concepts and values into the institution’s teaching methodology has set our programs apart from the rest.

- Reuse materials as much as possible, postponing their recycling or final disposal, continuously reducing the waste of energy and natural resources.
