Starting from the eminent scar city of notes that clarify the state of the art of Compulsory Environmental Audits as a category with potential intervention on the relationships of organizations with the environment, the present article constitutes a bibliographical review about the Environmental Audits and, in particular, what are the compulsory Environmental Audits and its interface as a management tool in the port context. The Environmental Audits, which the Brazilian legislation treats as compulsory, are imposed by law for potentially polluting activities, whose execution is conditioned to the environmental inspection agencies. Particularly in relation to ports, the importance of this management tool is highlighted public and/or private environment, considering the synergy of environmental impacts that may occur in the se environments. In this way, we consider that the results obtained after Environmental Audits in the Ports, although they may not be the solution of the environmental issues, they tend to point out weaknesses and potentialities of these spaces.
