- Resumen
Small and medium-sized companies have an impact on the environment where they operate, in some cases the effects on the environment can be very important within local communities, causing a series of negative processes such as polluting emissions into the atmosphere, the discharges to rivers and seas, the production of waste and also in some cases the contamination of the soil. The purpose of this research work is to determine the factors that affect the Industrial SMEs for a correct care of the ecosystem that surrounds them through the analysis of their management for the preparation of an environmental diagnosis. To develop this research, a quantitative and qualitative methodology of primary and secondary sources was applied, with the purpose of establishing the adequate parameters to analyze the impact of SMEs in the environment. The intellectual interest arose based on the needs to identify the environmental needs that small businesses in developing countries have to attend to. The project is justified by its own condition of proposing sustainable development, with the possibility of providing a real vision of the situation of industrial businesses in environmental matters. The research highlights the degree of active participation of Industrial SMEs to mitigate the environmental impact, the sources of financing necessary to carry out ecological activities, and the environmental training of managers and workers. The research carried out has been of a descriptive nature since it is intended to describe the properties of the object of study and the characteristics of the problem set. Therefore, in order to arrive at the order in order, a survey was applied to a representative sample of the population to be studied, the identification of the problem from the analysis of the data collected allowed a diagnosis to be made. This situational diagnosis is provided by the field work carried out, in which the questionnaires were applied and the analysis that allowed the identification of the factors that condition the environmental activities of this type of business. The results indicate that environmental management is not fully incorporated as a practice in the management processes of SMEs, so the environmental performance depends on the degree of pressure from the control agencies, authorities or clients. These companies consider that the economic resources devoted to environmental care represent a cost instead of being an investment. However, research on environmental management in SMEs shows a uniformity of environmental strategies with a low level of development. It should be noted that all this research effort towards environmental development is a guide that can be used in other research based on a specific diagnosis of the population under study.
