The increasingly serious destruction of the natural environment represents a great threat to the sustainable development of human beings and the earth. Under pressure from the government and public opinion, companies must assume environmental responsibility; however, there is no conclusion on whether corporate environmental responsibility is beneficial to companies. From the perspective of investment efficiency, this paper collects panel data from Chinese listed companies from 2011 to 2016 to discuss the impact of corporate environmental responsibility on investment efficiency and the moderating role of the institutional environment and consumer environmental awareness. The results show that corporate environmental responsibility can significantly positively affect investment efficiency, but this effect is not a short-term effect; it needs time to play a role. Second, in regions with a good institutional environment, corporate environmental responsibility has a more significant impact on improving investment efficiency. Finally, with the improvement of consumer environmental awareness, companies that assume environmental responsibility can address underinvestment. The research in this paper supports stakeholder theory, indicating that corporate environmental responsibility is not “selfless dedication”. In addition, the research results of this paper are robust and not subject to endogenous influences.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SUZANO PULP MILL IN THE SOUTHWEST OF MARANHÃO IN THE LIGHT OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTIMPLEMENTACIÓN DE LA FÁBRICA DE CELULOSA SUZANO EN SUROESTE DE MARANHÃO A LA LUZ DE LOS PRINCIPIOS DE DESARROLLO SOSTENIBLERESUMOO Estado brasileiro fez diversos investimentos na área de infraestrutura e financiou empreendimentos que criaram condições para a expansão do agronegócio e surgimento de empreendimentos industriais, em detrimento do extrativismo e da agricultura de subsistência na região centro-sul do estado do Maranhão nos últimos 50 anos. Uma das empresas a se estabelecer foi a Suzano Papel e Celulose, que no início do século XXI modificou sua estratégia de negócio, passando a investir na produção de celulose para a exportação. Dentro desse novo contexto, o sudoeste maranhense passou a ser um local estratégico para a empresa, que atualmente possui uma Unidade de Negócio Florestal que administra uma fábrica de celulose e um Empreendimento de Manejo Florestal. Em vista dessa realidade, este trabalho se propôs analisar como a Suzano implementa os princípios do desenvolvimento sustentável dentro do contexto socioeconômico e fundiário da região. Metodologicamente, o trabalho é teórico-qualitativo e tem um viés exploratório, sendo a base da pesquisa a análise de material bibliográfico, imagens, relatórios e dados estatísticos produzidos pelo Estado brasileiro e pela empresa certificadora do empreendimento celulósico. Ao final, é possível indicar que a Suzano usou o discurso de desenvolvimento sustentável para convencer as comunidades que seu polo celulósico não causaria grandes modificações nas bases sociais locais. Entretanto, os resultados demonstram que a empresa abdicou dos princípios norteadores da sustentabilidade e da responsabilidade social e ambiental, quando confrontada com possíveis perdas econômicas.Palavras-chave: Agronegócio; Silvicultura; Empreendimento de Manejo Florestal; Responsabilidade Social e Ambiental; Suzano Papel e Celulose. ABSTRACTThe Brazilian State has made several investments in the area of infrastructure and financed enterprises that created conditions for the expansion of agriculture and the emergence of industrial enterprises, to the detriment of extractivism and subsistence agriculture in the central-southern region of the state of Maranhão, over the past 50 years. One of the companies to be established was Suzano Papel e Celulose, which at the beginning of the 21st century, modified its business strategy, and started investing in celulose production, for exportation. Within this new context, the southwest of Maranhão became a strategic location for the company, which currently has a Forestry Business Unit that manages a pulp mill and a Forest Management Enterprise. In view of this, this work analyzes how Suzano implements the principles of sustainable development within the socioeconomic and land context of the region. Methodologically, the work is theoretical and qualitative with an exploratory bias, being the base of the research the analysis of bibliographic material, images, reports and statistical data produced by the Brazilian State and by the certifying company of cellulosic enterprise. In the end, it is possible to indicate that Suzano used the sustainable development discourse to convince communities that its cellulosic pole would not cause major changes in the local social bases. However, the results demonstrate that the company has abdicated the guiding principles of sustainability and social and environmental responsibility, when faced with possible economic losses.Keywords: Agribusiness; Forestry; Forest Management Enterprise; Social and Environmental Responsibility; Southwest of Maranhão; Suzano Papel e Celulose.RESUMENEl Estado brasileño ha realizado varias inversiones en el área de infraestructura y ha financiado empresas que crearon condiciones para la expansión de los agronegocios y el surgimiento de empresas industriales, en detrimento de la extractivismo y la agricultura de subsistencia en la región centro-sur del Maranhão en los últimos 50 años.

Al final, es posible indicar que Suzano utilizó el discurso del desarrollo sostenible para convencer a las comunidades de que su polo celulósico no causaría cambios importantes en las bases sociales locales. Sin embargo, los resultados demuestran que la empresa ha abdicado de los principios rectores de sostenibilidad y responsabilidad social y ambiental ante posibles pérdidas económicas.Palabras clave: Agronegocios; Silvicultura; Empresa de Gestión Forestal; Responsabilidad Social y Ambiental; Suzano Papel e Celulose.
