The Department of Energy’s Environmental Management (EM) cleanup and closure mission involves unique management, regulatory, technical and administrative challenges, which differ from typical operating situations or other environmental cleanups. As the country’s first large nuclear cleanup and closure site, Rocky Flats Environmental Technology Site (RFETS) managers were faced with first-of-a-kind issues that required bold and innovative approaches to undertake and accelerate the closure effort. This was the case nearly two years ago when the project was challenged with the task of dismantling hundreds of gloveboxes from former nuclear production buildings.

This paper puts a conceptual framework to outline research for corporate social responsibility (CSR) audit based on the analysis of current CRS literature and audit models as implementation of CSR. It is intended to make clear the phenomena about the relationship between audit, implementation of business ethics principles and corporate governance. However, most studies do not take into account modify CSR audit. This paper reports part of a research we carried out on the theoretical interpretation of the corporate social responsibility audit. This paper examines the corporate social responsibility audit as a composition of four categories - management system audits, on-site audits, verbal probability expressions (VPE) audits and technology audits. The paper concludes suggests to systematize multiple audits so that they can be conduct in three types of audits - environmental management audits covering in-house companies, environmental technology audits of products, and environmental audits of sites, including non-manufacturing sites and non-consolidated subsidiaries.

Abstract This study aimed to present practices and the social, economic and environmental impacts of the adoption of environmental technologies, in an industrial unit of the food industry in the municipality of Itabuna, from a perspective of Environmental Management. The research methodology used was an exploratory study. Data collection was performed using primary data through interviews with employees and the company side, with analysis by means of literature, with emphasis on corporate environmental management and technologies. It was observed that the investigated company employs its own methodology called "Cow Water" and waste through the cocoa husk pellets. The technology applied reveals that there is a concern of the organization in developing practices for monitoring production processes. As to the benefits from this methodology, it can be concluded that they appear from the perspective of reducing costs and waste, the alternatives of good operating practices in order to: improve environmental performance, reduce water and energy consumption and train our employees, and as a consequence, reduce the impacts to human health and the environment.
