The main aim is to analyse the motivations that encourage environmental management (EM) in the medium-sized metal-mechanic companies located in the municipality of Querétaro, Mexico. Eleven companies were selected randomly and the instrument of data collection was the semi-structured interview in four categories: implementation of the system; environmental investments; personnel training; provisioning. The results allow to generate an explicit idea about the exercise of EM and the type of environmental actions that are executed in this industry. Four groups of companies were classified according to their maturation level of EM and its environmental commitment. It is concluded that the economic- financial profit motivates the integration of EM in its working system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
