Homologação de fornecedores na indústria da construção: a inclusão dos critérios de sustentabilidade ambiental, social e governança corporativa (ESG)

Abstract

Changes in societal behavior shape organizational culture. The growing concern of society and investors with environmental, social, and corporate governance aspects has led to the recent creation of the guidelines proposed by ABNT PR 2030. One of the key activities of organizations is procurement, which involves selecting suppliers aligned with these new criteria. In this context, the construction industry and its extensive and impactful supply chain deserve particular attention. Thus, the aim of this study was to propose a supplier approval model for the construction industry, including criteria for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability. To this end, various technical, commercial, environmental, social, and governance criteria were selected from the literature and organized into groups, categories, and themes aligned with the guidelines of the ABNT recommended practice. In addition to identifying the criteria, related concepts were also studied and applied. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was adopted to balance the selected criteria as part of the proposed model. As a result, it was observed that it is possible to develop a model that, properly adapted to the type of target supply, has the potential to integrate both the classical criteria already used in supplier selection and the contemporary criteria more adherent to ESG pillars.
