Uma análise dos impactos da aplicação do índice de desempenho ambiental - IDA, pela ANTAQ, na melhoria da gestão ambiental da CODEBA

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the impacts of Antaq 's application of the Environmental Performance Index - IDA, on the improvement of the environmental management of the Bahia State Dock Company - Codeba. The main objective is to identify the possible opportunities for improvement in environmental management provided by the use of IDA - Antaq. For this purpose, the bibliographic survey method, documentary research and direct observation were used as basis. We presented the results of the IDA assessment, made available on the Antaq portal. From the evaluations carried out in the period, it was possible to verify that, in general, the application of the index provided a greater competitiveness among the ports. However, some of the ports underperformed. It was found that the main bottlenecks of port environmental management in Brazil are the limitation of resources for the environmental area; slow bidding processes, delayed response by environmental agencies; staff and environmental costs. In the ports of Codeba, we identified and analyzed the main indicators that scored below expectations, the factors that influenced the low evaluation and the improvement actions. In addition, the positive factors provided by the IDA assessment in the Company were presented.
