This article is the result of a study that sought to diagnose whether agro industrial companies surveyed consider the practice of social responsibility as an important criterion when selecting their suppliers. The study was conducted with 52 Brazilians agribusiness, and the questionnaires were applied in three phases. The research showed that the Brazilian agribusiness does not consider the social position of suppliers as purchase criteria, and also that the majority of agro-industrial companies surveyed does not perform social actions. It turns out that despite that considers it important that suppliers taking part in social activities, the agricultural industries do not consider these social responsibilities, a decision-making factor for the realization of their purchases.
