Abstract

In recent decades, the forest sector has invested into changes in production processes, searching for the combination of productivity with the reduction of negative environmental and social impacts that are intrinsic to their activities. In this sense, forest certification is an instrument of differentiation in the market and today becomes fundamental in the pulp and paper segment, mainly for companies whose production is exported. Thus, in order to assess the real environmental, social and economic benefits of forest certification process by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) as well as operational changes resulting from normative deviations appointed, there were analyzed the reports of the certification and their respective monitoring and annual recertifications for the period between 1998 and 2011 of the company Klabin SA. Deviations pointed at audits resulted in operational improvements at the sectors environmental, social and economic, consolidating and giving sustainability to the forest sector in the region of company influence.
