A Study Case developed in a company of the section mechanical metal and the principal used methodological resources meditated: it researches bibliographical concerning Environmental Management System, documents and registrations in pertinent electronic files to the EMS; interviews with employees with function in this Environmental Management System and environmental consultants that developed the EMS; direct and participant observations accomplished by the author of this work. It can be verified with this study that the concept of prevention of residues corroborates with the improvement of the nvironmental Management System of the companies. The continues improvement, extolled for ISO 14001, is not the warranty of significant increase in the environmental acting, because a company will simply be able to be adapted to the norm standardizing an inefficient model of the management. The standardization of procedures demanded by the normalization it propitiates that the company assumes as correct the traditional procedures of the low environmental acting, being necessary to the approach of the concepts of Cleaner Production as complemental instruments to the Environmental Management System to improve the environmental performance.
