Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the relationship between contingency factors of companies belonging to the construction sector of Campina Grande - PB and the use of environmental cost management practices. The research is classified as exploratory, descriptive and quantitative. For its operation, all 55 companies registered in the Construction and Furniture Industry Union of the State of Paraíba were contacted, of which 21 agreed to participate in the survey by answering a structured questionnaire considering characteristics of managers and companies, and the use of environmental cost management practices classified as prevention, detection and control, and recovery activities. Statistical analysis was carried out with the use of Fisher’s exact test. It was observed that the company size and the level of education of managers were significantly related to the use of environmental cost management practices related to prevention and detection and control activities,
and to the use of environmental cost management practices related to recovery, respectively.
