Sustainable forest management: analysis of eco-innovation process in Amazon

Abstract

Evaluation of eco-innovation practices in companies has been widely studied, however, there is a gap in the literature on the adoption of eco-innovative practices in companies located in the Amazon/Brazil. Therefore, the objective of this research is to analyze the eco-innovation process in an industry located in the Amazon related to sustainable forest management. The purpose of the research was to conduct an exploratory case study (in-depth case) in a logging company located in the Amazon/Brazil. The relevance of the study lies in the process of making the eco-innovations developed by the company clearer and being able to compare them with the existing literature through a form that allows the evaluation of eco-innovative activities within an organization.
