The objective is to assess the maturity level of public procurement processes, aiming to guide these organizations in achieving sustainable national development goals. The methodology employed combines document analysis to map relevant national and international best practices for building the model, validated by a panel of experts (two-stage Delphi method) and the application of the prototype in state public procurement offices. The validated maturity model comprises 25 items, each with four statements that reflect the progressive development of the organization.

Based on the concept of professional skepticism proposed by Hurtt (2010), the study adopts an exploratory and descriptive methodological approach with a quantitative focus. Initially, action research was carried out, leveraging the researcher's professional role as an AFT, to identify elements relevant to the development of the data collection instrument. This qualitative stage supported the development of the survey questionnaire, ensuring greater alignment with the empirical context of apprenticeship inspection. The sample consisted of 59 AFTs from various regions of the country, allowing for a diverse characterization of the participants' profiles. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), using validated scales to measure professional skepticism and interprofessional collaboration. The results indicated that interprofessional collaboration is the variable with the greatest most substantial and statistically significant positive influence on professional skepticism, while factors such as length of service, time in public service, and academic background showed no meaningful impact. The study contributes to the advancement of knowledge around labor inspecting auditing, in addition to enriching the academic debate on professional skepticism in the public sector. The findings also align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially targets 4.4 and 8.6, by highlighting the strategic role of AFTs in promoting decent work and the productive inclusion of young people.

Likewise, hunger is still a recurring problem, but it has been joined by other understandings such as food (in)security at various levels and, more recently, the issue of malnutrition resulting from the consumption of poorly nutritious food. Realizing that the transformation of this reality must involve the construction of efficient, adequate and territorialized food systems from a social, economic and environmental perspective, international cooperation has called for the action of local governments, in the context of cities. In this context, organizations such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations have built foundations to encourage regions, countries and their entities to develop public food policies with a collective future in mind. Thus, the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact emerged in 2015 with the aim of bringing together global cities so that they can collectively exchange information, disseminate policies and leverage the development of food systems. This paper therefore focuses on the study of the Pact as a working tool for decentralized international cooperation and the role of local governments in the governance of food systems. Methodologically, the analysis was chosen based on documentary and bibliographical research, to answer the question "what are the limitations of food governance that give rise to the role of local governments and how does the MUFPP position itself in this context?". The results of the research, presented in the discussion, show the challenges in food governance under the action of local governments and the difficulties of adapting the MUFPP monitoring structure, such as the substantial differences between the territories in which the governments are related, the limitations for evaluating and monitoring policies and the political nature of all the decisions that permeate the development of food systems.

In this context, the Sustainable Logistics Plan (PLS) stands out as an essential tool aimed at incorporating principles of socio-environmental responsibility into the routines of public agencies. It is observed, however, that most research on sustainable practices in the public sector focuses on Higher Education Institutions, representing about 75% of the existing literature on the topic. In this regard, the present research sought to evaluate the implementation of sustainable practices in the DNIT Superintendencies, focusing on the PLS, based on the perception of civil servants and outsourced workers who operate in the Regional Superintendencies of the agency. The specific objectives included identifying sustainability initiatives established by the DNIT’s PLS, describing the perception of civil servants and outsourced workers from the DNIT’s Regional Superintendencies regarding the theme of sustainability and the PLS, to identify sustainable practices experienced in the workplace, based on the narratives shared by civil servants and outsourced workers who operate in the Regional Superintendencies of the agency, as well as gathering suggestions for improvement and greater engagement in sustainable initiatives within DNIT. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative approach of descriptive and exploratory nature was used, through narrative and photographic interviews with civil servants and outsourced workers from eight superintendencies. The results revealed a significant limitation in the knowledge about the PLS among the participants, which may compromise its full application. Topics such as fleet management, the assessment of outsourced staff numbers, and social inclusion were rarely mentioned, suggesting a limited scope of these actions or lower visibility within the institution. On the other hand, it was observed that some sustainable practices are already part of the routine in certain superintendencies, such as the rational use of consumption materials and the preference for products with lower environmental impact, such as recycled paper and biodegradable cups. Selective waste collection and the replacement of conventional equipment with more efficient models, such as LED lighting and modern coffee machines, were also reported. In some cases, initiatives such as the implementation of community gardens and the installation of specific collectors for the proper disposal of batteries were highlighted by interviewees. Although there is recognition of occasional actions aimed at improving quality of life in the workplace, weaknesses were identified in the institution's communication tools, hindering dissemination and collective engagement. Thus, the study proposed five actions to strengthen the PLS at DNIT: providing training programs, improving internal communication, formally including outsourced workers, supporting PLS committees, and valuing best practices. These measures aim to broaden institutional engagement and foster a sustainable culture. It is concluded, therefore, that despite the progress and efforts made by DNIT in promoting sustainability, much still needs to be done for the PLS to become a truly consolidated and effective policy within the institution.
