Abstract

The environmental impact assessment has gained a very important role in the decision making regarding different projects,

investments, actions and proposals. The environmental impact assessment is a systematic process which deals with the

consequences of the future developments in advance. The methodology of the assessment includes several techniques. The

quantitative methods focus on the evaluation of the impacts by assigning importance values to the environmental parameters and

quality scores. The method devised by Robu was further developed and protocol for the determination of the complex

environment state index was devised. This method is adapted for a car part manufacturing company and conclusions are made on

the environmental impacts of the company.

The objective of the paper is to test this method on a manufacturing facility in Hungary in light of the legal stipulations and limit

values to support the more efficient operation of the environmental management system of the company with identification of the

significant environmental impacts.
