Methodologically the research was approached using a qualitative, documentary type approach, with the application of the inductive method and the technique used were content analysis. The results show that environmental management and corporate social responsibility are interrelated and mutually reinforcing concepts, since companies that integrate environmental management into their policies and practices are demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and contributing to building a brighter future balanced and responsible from the social and environmental point of view. Similarly, environmental management and business competitiveness are closely related and can influence each other, because it is now increasingly recognized that effective environmental management can provide significant competitive advantages to companies.
