To increase our understanding of corporate responsibility (CSR/CR) in the forest sector in the context of anemerging economy, we analyze how CR managers in Brazilian forest companies perceive ISO 26000, which isan international standard to implement CSR. We also enhance the understanding of how corporate responsibilitymanagers perceive the future contribution of the forest sector to the United Nations (UN) agenda 2030 and theimplementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our findings indicate that forest sector managementin Brazil is focused on environmental issues when implementing their sustainability agenda, but social issuesare increasingly being included, especially in the agendas of smaller companies. Large-sized companies play aparticularly important role in influencing the value chain, and ISO 26000, among other initiatives could be oneway of reaching this goal. The managers interviewed identify combatting climate change impacts (SDG number13) as potentially contributing the most towards sustainable development.
