This article proposes a project to implement an Environmental Management System (EMS) suitable to a large condominiums administrator in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), based on the parameters of the ISO 14001. The tool may be adequate to companies of any branch or size promoting competitive advantage and becoming an aggregator of value, in addition to contributing to the conservation of the environment. This is a case study developed in a condominium management company, aiming the analysis of its practices and subsequent development of EMS focused on its reality. It was evidenced through the study that there are substantial advantages in the environmental, economic and social area through the implementation of an Environmental Management System. It can also be pointed out that the real savings generated by the reduction of water and electricity consumption will have a positive impact on the coffers of the company, and these values could be applied in other real needs that until then could not be met due to lack of resources. The proposed EMS demonstrates that it is possible to apply this environmental management tool to real estate companies with a predominance of administrative processes. It is notable that mobilization for sustainability is still far below expected, confirming the gap between theory and practice. It is hoped that this work will stimulate other companies with the same size to turn to sustainable practices in their activities.

Infrastructure development, according to the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of PUPR 2020-2024, is prioritized to support basic services, economic development, and urban development. The implementation of infrastructure development is strived to increase economic growth. However, non-compliance with quality standards is still a problem in infrastructure development. One of the quality standards that is often overlooked is the environmental management system to ensure environmental quality in construction projects. There is a need for environmental management on a project that runs according to the standards planned and the importance of implementing environmental management in the project. Therefore, a detailed study is needed in identifying and analyzing the implementation of the environmental management system and the constraints on its implementation in construction projects obtained by scientific questionnaire method and observation with contractor employees as internal parties and construction management consultant employees and owners as external parties in a construction project in Jakarta. The data were analyzed by using statistical tests with multiple linear regression, seeing its application in the field, and analyzing supporting documents. The clauses that are considered in the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system are clauses 4-10. The results of the analysis show that clause 5 is the clause with the highest application effect with a regression coefficient of 0.967. Factors that become obstacles and need special attention in this project are clauses 4, 6, and 10.
