Where does it take the info? Can't find it in the environnement variables.
If it was stored in environment variables, the user would be able to change it--which would not be very secure.
This information is stored in the process descriptor. If you want to get a pointer to how it functions, start reading source code for the "su" program, and for the getgid() and setgid() system calls.
