SUMMARY:

The sustainability of an enterprise that uses natural resources involves the use of relevant instruments for the feasibility of managerial aspects that integrate economic, social and environmental responsibility policies. Voluntary forest certification, as an alternative environmental management tool, signals good forest management practices and, as a competitive advantage, generates an aspect of reliability, commitment and the socio-environmental responsibility of certified organizations. In Brazil, there are several types of environmental certification that are accredited nationally and by international institutions. Currently, it is possible to perceive a devaluation of the certification process within the domestic market, thus constituting barriers to the advancement of certification, in particular, in the northern region of the country. In this context, the objective of this work is to propose an Amazon Certification System (AMZ) based on the experiences of institutions and researchers working in the Amazon, as well as on the observance of the pillars of sustainability. The proposed certification system can be understood as a measurement instrument and focuses on measuring the maturity of companies in terms of adherence to the minimum requirements necessary for certification. The following hypotheses were raised: [1] the Amazon Certification System is an instrument capable of measuring this adherence and the adoption of good management practices by the evaluated organization; and [2] the Amazon Certification System is not an instrument capable of measuring this adherence and the adoption of good management practices by the evaluated organization. Thus, through a theoretical procedure and quantitative methods, we seek to clarify the context of decision, validation and determination of representativeness for each analysis item. Given that the latent trait of this study is maturity, it is expected that it can be expressed in observable terms and with appropriate magnitudes. Therefore, and based on the multi-criteria model, the instrument was operationalized, adequate and validated in terms of the representativeness of the items and, after the phase of defining and ranking the factors, an initial instrument is proposed with 5 steps, 32 requirements and 99 indicators fundamental to demonstrate the maturity of companies.
