Abstract: Objective: to identify the governance process practiced by the Central Extractive Commercialization Cooperative of Acre (Cooperacre) and indicate possible paths for adherence to the ESG agenda, based on solution recommendations, considering the current scenario and the future of the organization. Theoretical approach: the integration between social, environmental, and governance (ESG) dimensions tends to be an essential business challenge in this century. Method: this is an exploratory study, with a qualitative approach and of a documentary nature, carried out using primary sources obtained from files held by Cooperacre. Results: practices associated with internal control, code of ethics and conduct, and extractive sustainability are observed. However, Cooperacre does not have an external audit or ombudsman. The recommendations for solutions involve, among other strategies, encouraging the participation of delegates in decision-making processes, developing new leadership, and promoting gender equality, equity, and diversity. In addition, ensuring clear and efficient communication of environmental initiatives, indicators, and goals is emphasized. Conclusions: adhering to the ESG agenda enables access to and expansion of international markets, community appreciation, and strengthening of climate resilience in the Amazon.
