Abstract

The present study sought to understand the extent to which the environmental education strategies (EES) influence or contribute to the improvement of the environmental performance of the company Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM) - Maputo. The research was based on a qualitative approach, having adopted as technical procedures a field study, in which a semi-structured interview, assisted by observation, was carried out. In addition, this research had as non-probabilistic sampling for convenience. With a sample of the population, seven (7) employees were selected, representing the environmental committee of CDM. For the analysis of data collected was based on the steps recommended by Bardin, for the analysis of identified impacts the FIESP model was applied. The research concluded that the stages of the production process of beer in the company CDM range from malt preparation to packaging, the process of washing bottles and equipment. Of these activities, 22 environmental impacts were identified, of which seven (7) are not significant impacts; 10 are significant impacts and five (5) very significant impacts. For the environmental performance control, it was observed that the CDM uses the VPO model in which one can find the environmental pillar, which contains the environmental and occupational safety policy, both with management performance indicators; operational and environmental condition. Concerning the application of EES, the research concluded that they are applied in a superficial way using expository methods, such as the display of posters with environmental contents. Overall, the research concluded that the EES in the CDM - Maputo company contribute positively to the environmental performance in the level of management performance indicators, and negatively, in the level of indicators of operational performance and environmental condition, since these strategies are applied as an appendix, in a superficial rather than in-depth form. The recommendations are related to the application of EES in an integrated way, adopting participatory methods to improve the environmental performance of the organization.
