Abstract

This research, situated within the area of concentration Law and Institutions of the Justice System and linked to the research line Dynamics and Effectiveness of Institutions of the Justice System, aims to analyze how the observance of sustainability criteria and practices in public procurement is being carried out within the scope of the Maranhão State Judiciary, from 2021 to 2023, and its impact on the realization of the fundamental right to an ecologically balanced environment, considering the establishment of the sustainability policy implemented by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) and the regulation of the Sustainable Logistics Plan by the Court of Justice of the State of Maranhão. Thus, the hypothesis is that the sustainable measures applied in the phases related to public procurement constitute necessary mechanisms for environmental protection, as well as for enabling the sustainable development entrusted to the Public Administration. Therefore,

to achieve the proposed objective, the inductive approach method was used, as well as the socio- legal-critical, legal-descriptive, and legal-diagnostic methods of procedure, with bibliographic and

documentary research techniques. The results observed demonstrated that the adoption of sustainable guidelines in contracting represents a relevant instrument for achieving environmental sustainability.
