| Sumario: | Organizations are being compelled to direct their activities towards sustainability. Demands for corporate social and environmental responsibility arise from the recognition of limits on the availability of natural resources and on the capacity of absorption of human impacts by the environment. In order to guide this paradigm shift, the Brazilian Ministry of Environment (MMA) introduced the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration – A3P, a voluntary adoption program. This article presents the A3P through a literature review and analysis of documents on the Agenda publicity materials provided by MMA. To illustrate the application of the Agenda, this article analyzes forty-nine initiatives granted with the A3P Best Practices on Sustainability Award from 2009 to 2013, based on seven indicators of conformity with organizational goals on socio-environmental responsibility. The results show advances on the implementation of the Agenda, with a 240% increase on the number of organizations that signed up to A3P along the studied timeframe. One of the most important outcomes of the Agenda is to help public organizations to introduce sustainability criteria, such as eco-efficiency, amongst traditional organizational performance indicators. The majority of awarded projects presented some degree of commitment with organizational outcomes. However, the Agenda does not seem to be vigorous enough to stimulate socio-environmental responsibility incorporated on organizational identity in the long term. There is still a long way ahead in order for the A3P to become effective as a directive to the practices and to the strategic management decision-making processes in those organizations. |
