Embraer regards environmental quality as an important segment within the Company's operations, aimed at creating awareness and guiding all its employees, as well as research work.
Environmental issues are increasingly taking center stage, as the consequences of the damaging actions to the planet prove more obvious, which are resulting in a drop in the quality of life and in the emergence of problems such as the greenhouse effect, polar ice-cap melting, water shortages, droughts, etc.
Technological advance cannot be interrupted; neither can attention be deviated from environmental issues. In other words, in technological advancement resides the solution for the maintenance of sustainable growth in order to ensure suitable conditions for future generations. This is the reason for the growing concern of Embraer with the environment.
In 2002, the Faria Lima Unit obtained its Environmental Management System certification, by attaining the ISO 14001 Standard, and in 2004 this unit managed to maintain the certification through Maintenance Auditing, carried out by the ABS certifier (American Bureau of Shipping).
To control all these certificates, Embraer created the Environmental, Occupational Health, Safety and Quality Integrated Management System (SIG-MASSQ), which aims to facilitate the analysis of all actions in a global fashion, integrating the Company, employees, third parties, partners, the environment, health, safety and quality, while always focusing on the results of the Company.

The SIG-MASSQ results from Embraer's awareness of the influence it brings to bear on the lives of the people who participate in its trajectory in the environment and in the regions where it is installed.
The implementation of the SIG-MASSQ is serving to unite and apply the efforts of all towards an increasingly competitive company, aware of its role in society.
