• Abstract:

  The environmental diagnosis is a management tool with the objective of characterizing the environmental components of the company, evaluating them regarding their adequate management, pointing out the organization's efficiency and, mainly, the opportunities to improve the environmental indicators in relation to the established goals, as well as its adequacy to current legislation. Thus, the adoption of actions for correct environmental and socio-environmental management by organizations, whether mandatory or not, begins with a correct diagnosis of their production system. The perfect characterization of the processes allows the analysis and definition of the local reality, allows the adoption of correction, mitigation or improvement measures, aiming at the sustainability of this production system. The metallurgical industry represents an important economic and strategic sector for the country, occupying in 2019, the ninth position in the world in the ranking of crude steel production. In view of this, the objective of this work was to carry out a bibliometric research and analysis of the results in order to establish an updated overview of these publications. The search was carried out in the Web of Science and Scopus databases using a bibliometric tool, analyzing the descriptors: “environmental diagnosis” and “metallurgical industry”. The results showed that there is a lack of studies addressing the research topic, possibly constituting a gap in the literature to be explored, evidencing the environmental assessment of the metallurgical productive sector as an important subject for future studies.
