Summary/Abstract: Territorial environmental management emerges as a relatively new position toimplement, direct and control the environmentally sustainable processes of the industriesbased on their regional, social and political conditions as characteristics of each territory,which determine the degree of commitment and the same institutional capacity to implementenergy effi ciency processes that minimize environmental impacts and increase thepossibilities of development and quality of life for its inhabitants. The traditional conceptof sustainable development is based on developmentalist ideology that compromises theadvances that occur in the care of the environment and its relationship with the humanneeds for survival. From the theoretical point of view, it shows the need to transcendthis concept with regards to territorial environmental management and to reconcile theeconomic processes typical of modernity with the requirements of the planet and itsterritories as a constituent part of a greater whole.
