O contrato como um dos instrumentos jurídicos para o desenvolvimento sustentável

Abstract

The principle of sustainable development, hosted by Federal Constitution of 1988, and in its Article 225, is essential issue in discussions about policies of economic, social and environmental development. Imposes upon the Government and the community have the duty to protect the environment and preserve it for present and future generations. In a globalized society, a socially responsible company, has a vital role in promoting sustainable development, and the contract, the trade instrument used for the production of wealth, should include clauses that would reduce the risks inherent in the business activity. From the hypothetical-deductive-teleological method, extensive research based on law, doctrine and jurisprudence, allow us to conclude that the inclusion of sustainability clauses in contemporary contract, comply with the standard and constitutional principles, being therefore, effective and capable of promoting sustainable development, and may even justify the termination of a contract for breach of contract.
