Práticas Sustentáveis Administrativas Implementadas em Instituições Públicas de Ensino Superior: Uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura

Sustainability in Brazilian public administration has been strengthened by legal frameworks that guide the conscious management of resources, such as Law No. 12.305/2010, which establishes the National Solid Waste Policy, and Law No. 14.133/2021, which sets sustainability criteria for public procurement. In this context, the Sustainable Logistics Management Plan emerges as an essential instrument to guide sustainable practices in public bodies, including higher education institutions. Based on its categories, such as reduction of water and energy consumption, waste management, and promotion of conscious consumption, this research conducts a systematic literature review to identify and categorize sustainable practices adopted by higher education institutions. Eighteen articles published between 2019 and 2025 were analyzed, considering geographic coverage, research types, and the diversity of sustainable practices developed. The results indicate a predominance of the conscious consumption promotion category, with a higher frequency of management and education practices compared to effective practices for reducing waste, pollutant emissions, consumption materials, water, and energy.
