Issues related to environment and sustainability are increasingly becoming topics of concern in international trade, with movements by countries or blocs such as the European Union, United States and the United Kingdom. China, one of the biggest players in international trade and Brazil s main trading partner, has not yet given indications of restrictions or imposition of tariffs on unsustainable products. But the country is undergoing changes towards more sustainable actions and the search for the construction of an Ecological Civilization, which may have impacts on its commercial policy. This dissertation aims to analyze the policies of a greener China and the movements of the Chinese private sector towards more sustainable operations, in order to understand the possible impacts on Sino-Brazilian trade.
