Sustainable procurements in the Brazilian public administration: the federal Executive Power’s experience
Main Article Content
Abstract
The expansion of debates on the environmental impacts deriving from consumption patterns of the industrial society has led to the perception of the State as an expressive consumer of goods and services. This way, many countries started adopting guidelines and methodologies to include sustainability criteria in their public tenders, a practice that became known as sustainable public procurement (SPP). Thus, this study aims to analyze the implementation of SPP in the domain of the Brazilian federal Executive Power, taking into account the objectives that guide this process, the mandatory rules, its potentials and limitations.
