Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to compare the European and Brazilian approaches employed on the design for ecological management & product sustainability based both on the Polish and the Brazilian experiences on this field. to provide practice for environmental management on management of the design manufacturing activities. Design/methodology/approach: This work aims to present and compare two major EMS - Environmental Management Systems: The system ISO 14001 and the EMAS - Eco-Management & Audit Scheme. Findings: According to the principles of environmental management systems, continuous improvement is necessary for all processes and technology companies wishing to implement the EMS. Practical implications: The implementation of environmental management systems (ISO 14001 when both EMAS) provides a number of benefits to organizations, such as maximizing the efficient use of resources, waste reduction, demonstration of good corporate image, environmental awareness of employees, gains in understanding the impacts, environmental impacts of business activities and increased profitability through improved environmental performance. Originality/value: The paper presents the analysis of environmental management concept in two different cultural and economic systems
