Environmental accounting combined with the decarbonization of the poultry chain in Goiás
The objective of this article was to identify how environmental management accounting contributes to the decarbonization of broilers. The methodology adopted was the case study conducted in a food agroindustry of relevant economic importance, in the state of Goiás, Brazil. Analyses were performed only for actions of solid waste management, treatment plant of chemical effluents, energy sources and emissions, and reforestation. Environmental management was already a concern for the agroindustry. However, there was no study with coordinated and systematized knowledge in the light of environmental accounting, that is, of a scientific nature. Environmental accounting is a viable option, if there is monitoring and advice from qualified professionals, both for the implementation of the model and for the process of analyzing the accounting information. Therefore, regarding the policy for pollution reduction and treatment of generated effluents, it manages to reduce the amount of biological sludge as a consequence of the reduction of materials and generated waste, and to remove 85% of the organic matter and 95% of oils and fatty acids from generated waste that can be recycled. Besides, it can promote the reduction of materials and energy per unit of product or service and favor competitiveness, while reducing threats to the environment. Therefore, the environmental management accounting is an essential tool for the development of the carbon footprint, as it shows elements to support the preparation of an inventory and mapping of environmental management practices.
