LOPEZ, ANDRÉS; DAVIDIA RESTREPO, NEIRA; DE LA CRUZ, WILSON YHOVANNI  and  ORREGO ORTIZ, SIGIFREDO. Scarcity arrive and had us stop. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2011, vol.27, n.119, pp.235-254. ISSN 0123-5923.

The primary objective of this case study is to discuss how a company can address environmental concerns raised by regional environmental regulatory authorities using a strategic plan based on ecoefficiency and industrial ecology for the purpose of ensuring the future sustainable development of the company. It places emphasis on the fact that, despite being the most important tactical asset in the operations of most companies, water resources are ignored and seen as inexhaustible. It is intended as a wake-up call for top management officials to realize that there is a need for a conceptual change because environmental department managers in many companies do not receive the necessary support for implementing new environmentally friendly technologies.

Keywords : Environmental management system; environmental strategy; water resource; legal environmental system; wastewater treatment.
