Allied to this purpose, environmental certification seals play a crucial role. This article aims to present a compilation of information and considerations from several authors regarding the certificates available and most used in Brazil, to assist those who seek to validate their civil construction works with sustainable requirements. The origins and main characteristics of each seal are described. As a result, a table was developed that synthesizes information about each seal regarding the date of appearance, origin, responsible entity, categories and evaluation criteria, classification levels, among other aspects. Thus, this document offers, in a consolidated way, valuable information for decision-making in relation to the choice of certification, providing ease for those seeking certification and encouraging new research in the field.  \nKeywords: Sustainable Construction, Environmental Seal, Environmental Certification, Categories or Evaluation Criteria.  \n1 Master in Agribusiness and Development UNESP – FCT – Tupã/SP[E-mail: md.marques@unesp.br](E-mail: md.marques@unesp.br)  \n2 Doctor of Administration UNESP – FCT – Tupã/SP  \nE-mail:sergio.braga@unesp.br  \n3 Doctor in Materials Science and Technology UNESP – FCT – Tupã/SP  \nE-mail: [rebeca.simoes@unesp.br](rebeca.simoes@unesp.br)  \nInterconnections of Knowledge: Multidisciplinary Approaches  \nTransforming Civil Construction: Environmental seal as a mark ofsustainable commitment  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn the 2000s, there was talk and discussion about sustainable constructions and certification systems for sustainable enterprises (Environmental Seal), with the emergence of terms such as:  \necological constructions, green constructions and buildings with environmental certification (TECHIO; GATES; COSTA, 2016) . These construction models are considered as another form of greenwashing (false disclosure of sustainability, \"green makeup\" or \"greenwashing\") in the construction sector, and have had a direct impact on the definition that most people make about sustainability and, consequently, reverberate in the attitudes and actions of the consumer.  \nThe credible environmental certification process should give builders of sustainable buildings the recognition and incentive to mitigate environmental impacts, and reduce the use of natural resources, which aims to encourage change, with a focus on the sustainability of the construction sector. They attest that the enterprise has a good environmental performance, making it known that the space has systems for saving resources and reusing materials, developing with environmental awareness (CONTO ETAL., 2017),  \nEnvironmental certification systems seek solutions and construction methods capable of reducing the impact on the environment caused by civil construction, \"in addition to energy efficiency, quality of internal environments and user well-being, during the life cycle of a building\"(PELLIZZETTI, 2017). Pellizzetti (2017) further states that:  \nObtaining environmental certification for homes assures the owner that their investment was used as planned, meaning lower risks, better energy and water efficiency of the installed systems, reduction of operating costs, quality of internal environments and well-being of the user during the life cycle of the house (PELLIZZETTI, 2017, p. 37) .  \nIn order to implement the constructive sustainability currently recognized, several evaluation methodologies have been developed over time in order to implement the Green Building .
