Abstract


The national industrial park of Algeria is mostly old, therefore polluting, this aspect leading to the appearance of serious deficiencies related to environmental protection. Moreover, awareness and information on environmental concerns are very limited, the regulatory mechanisms are fragmented, the environmental safety culture is disparate and the means of control and surveillance are often unknown. As a result, some companies faced with this problem must demonstrate sound management of the impact of their activities on the environment. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the various industrial activities of an Algerian company engaged in an approach to sustainable environmental protection, based on well-defined criteria: nature, type, intensity, extent, duration, and degree of disturbance. The obtained results will be used in the elaboration of an action plan for the prevention and reduction of pollution, in order to develop a culture of prevention in organizations.
