Resumo
Sustainable procurement requires an understanding of the full impact of
purchase throughout the entire life cycle of the product or service, irrespective
of location. The aim is to investigate the adoption of sustainable procurement in
some Brazilian chemical companies. Questionnaires were sent to professionals
from the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (ABIQUIM) and from thirtyseven associated companies. The results were used to elaborate empirical
illustrations about sustainable procurement practices in the Brazilian chemical
industry context. Although the companies did not have a prescriptive supplier
selection model that incorporates social-environmental criteria, most
companies had more restrictive standards than the legislation and they
supported suppliers to improve their social-environmental performance. In
addition, that actions related to social and environmental issues occur in policies
and documents and are reflected through middle and upper management
commitments. It indicates that there are some organizational directions to
incorporate social and environmental questions. However, no materialization in
actions along the procurement process.
