PANORAMA OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN BRAZILIAN STATE-OWNED COMPANIES – A LOOK AT THE SUSTAINABLE LOGISTICS MANGEMENT PLAN

Abstract

Brazilian environmental politics have gradually advanced with the inclusion of sustainable development as a constitutional principle. In this context of public politics and environmental responsibility, federal public institutions need to adjust their management flow to promote sustainable national development. This process of flow coordination, considering environmental protection, social justice and balanced economic development, signals for a more efficient future public management, as sustainable logistics is gaining strength. This quantitative, descriptive, exploratory study aims to identify the accession of the tool "Sustainable Logistics Management Plan", as well as the sustainability and rationalization practices currently employed by the Brazilian federal dependent state-owned. The methodology consisted of documentary research and bibliographical research as sources for the collection of information and composition of the theoretical reference, besides the application of a research questionnaire. The results demonstrate that despite the PLS tool is not yet a reality for all public companies evaluated, sustainable practices and strategies to reduce the consumption of natural resources are already implemented for the most part. Considering the importance of public administration as an influence tool for other markets, it is recommended to include the sustainable logistics planning tool or another similar methodology in the
strategic planning of public institutions to getting results at reduced deadlines. New works can investigate the effectiveness of the PLS tool adoption in other related public agencies.
