Compras públicas sustentáveis: a utilização do salário justo como categoria de impacto na avaliação do ciclo de vida social do produto

Abstract

This work evaluated to use fair wages as a new midpoint impact category relevance for Social Life Cycle Assessment to influence public purchases of paper in Brazil. The scope considered in this paper is the paper industry in all Federation Units in Brazil. This work to use information from the Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD) of Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), information from the Ministério do Trabalho of the Brazil, Constitution of 1988 of Brazil and labor secretariats of the Federation Units. The Estimates suggests a characterization model for fair potential wage (FWPn) along life cycle of chain paper. The results allowed to observe that in the majority of the Units of the Brazilian Federation, the fair potential salary was greater than 1 (one). This means that, with the exception of Tocantins and Paraíba, the other Federative Units presented wages considered fair, in paper industry. However, by including in the estimates the regional wage floors practiced by some Federative Units, it was possible to perceive that the regional economic specificities can impact the magnitude and change the classification of the fair wage among the Federative Units. Thus, these results point to the importance of considering this indicator in Brazilian public procurement, since wages may be important to reduce regional disparities. At the end, it will be proposed the adoption of Social Responsibility 8,000 as a certification for the public sector.
