Environmental management in companies constitutes a tool of great importance for the protection and conservation of the environment and generates great benefits for companies that apply it. The objective of this work is to propose a series of improvements to the environmental management of companies, in order to increase their competitiveness. The approach used in the research is quantitative, using the deductive method for this. The type of research is descriptive with the application of a field design. For its development, it was based on the surveys carried out to 172 mipymes in the El Oro province. The results show that of the dimensions studied to find out the internal business competitiveness of the miymes in Orense, the environmental management dimension was the one that obtained the lowest average of all. The following actions to improve environmental management are proposed:inclusion of the environmental variable in company planning; training of human resources in environmental issues; management of environmental regulations; economic resources for environmental improvements; use of eco-efficient and clean technologies; continuous application of environmental practices; monitoring, follow-up and control of environmental aspects and application of measures to mitigate and control environmental problems.
