the indicators fulfillment, meeting the attribute of objectivity requested by the group
at the time of the form validation.
After the audits were carried through, the information was posted on the appropriate form, and then, the results were generated, based on the spreadsheet calculations.
Such results, showed agreement with what was verified on site, confirming the feasibility of applying the proposed form. After performing the verification at the three
suppliers, the partner companies received the final results and made their comments
on the process and final suggestions for improvement.
7 Conclusion
This paper presented the partnership results among the Federal University of Paraná
and industries in the region of Curitiba (PR), to elaborate a shared environmental
service supplier’s qualification process. The referred procedure was designed for
companies’ joint application from different fields of activity, enabling the sharing of
information and results among industries.
First, in order to delimit the scope checks for the most critical categories, a risk
matrix was elaborated for prioritization, according to risk degree. The categories were
analyzed in order to be fit among the low, medium and high levels. In the discussions on the matrix results, the relationship between the activities carried out by the
categories and the SDG’s was also debated, in order to explain what social and environmental impacts can be minimized with the proper contracting of environmental
service suppliers.
The three categories of waste management were classified as high risk and were
therefore, considered the most critical. For these categories, a specific qualification
process was elaborated, encompassing registration, previous analysis of documents,
and on-site verification form for environmental service suppliers.
The criteria indicators we sought to contemplate the main sustainability issues
applicable to the supply chain, namely: legal requirements, management system,
health and labor safety, work related relations and the environment. Included were
also specific indicators of the evaluated activities: laboratory, transportation, storage,
handling, and waste treatment.
The referred process to qualify the most critical categories was prepared with
the contribution of volunteer companies, members of the GPMAI and also validated
through a work meeting and the practical application in three suppliers.
This paper main result proposal was to facilitate the formation of a collaborative
initiative, so that organizations with similar contracting objects can join efforts in
the shared qualification processes application.
