The research problem sought to answer the impact of environmental sustainability projects on the performance of a company in the pig farming sector. It adopted a qualitative, exploratory approach, classified as a case study. As a data collection instrument, two different questionnaires were used, containing open and closed questions, one applied to the Company's owner partner and the other to the Environmental Engineer, also responsible for the company's quality control. Through the analysis and interpretation of the data, it was possible to confirm that the company Suinocultura Gobbi is an institution that exerts great influence on the local and regional community. Points were identified that deserve to be suggested to business owners as suggestions for improvements, such as: focusing on and seeking new certifications in accordance with current legislation; investment in sustainable practices such as: biodigesters, water saving and agroforestry; creation of a Formal Environmental Management System (SGMA); and investment in marketing to publicize the good sustainable practices it adopts. Regarding the analysis carried out with the Environmental Engineer, points for improvement were also observed, such as: achievement of sustainability certifications or recognized qualities; in the short and long term, they must focus on sustainability and environmental management actions in line with current legislation; search for strategies for monitoring and evaluating sustainable initiatives; and investment in communication with customers and partners about sustainable practices and environmental commitments.
