Methodology for the Environmental
Service Suppliers’ Qualification, Under
the Approach of Sustainable
Procurement and Collaborative
Initiatives: A Case Study of Industries

Patricia Accioly Calderari da Rosa and Marielle Feilstrecker
Abstract Some companies have organized themselves to develop joint supplier’s
qualification processes in order to avoid multiple audits and evaluations, reducing
resources spent on these activities and the risks related to sustainability. This article presents the results of a study involving a university and a group of volunteer
companies aiming at developing a methodology for collaborative qualification of
environmental service suppliers. The study consists of a tool for prioritizing categories and a verification process with the pre-qualification and on-site audit form,
allowing the results sharing among industries which have mutual suppliers. The volunteer companies which took part in the research constitute a network of industries
in Curitiba and contributed with their practical experience.
