The Green Economy is based on productive and services provision chains contribution to Sustainable Development. To demonstrate such commitment, forest sector al. over the world is searching to elaborate Criteria & Indicators – C&I of SFM monitoring. It is necessary to evaluate forest enterprise behavior compliance with those C&I as well as the practice contribution to overal. sustainable development at Brazilian Amazon region. This work approaches the C&I for SFM monitoring at Brazilian Amazon, as foreseen at the Forest Code, including enterprise behavior and overal. contribution to regional sustainable development. For this work 3 principles of SFM were selected together with 2 indicators for each: Environmental – environmental considerations and cultivated biodiversity; Social - forest policies and legal instrument; Economical – socioeconomic aspects and international aspects. These criteria were evaluated considering four indicators: history, objectives, actual status and problems. The analysis of 20 tropical countries portrayed the following classification on SFM advance: Brazil (68 %); India (67 %); Malaysia (63 %); Gabon (60 %); Congo (58 %); Myanmar (55 %), Thailand (51 %), Ivory Coast (49 %); Cameroon (46 %); Nigeria (42 %), Ghana (42 %); DRC (42 %); Colombia (41 %); Venezuela (39 %), Indonesia (36 %); PNG (34 %); Peru (31 %); Bolivia (31 %); Ecuador (30 %); Philippines (24 %). The main problem at al. studied tropical countries is the lack of infrastructure which determines a large number of infectious diseases among the population. At the Brazilian Amazon the compliance level reached 50% (7th place). At Brazilian Amazon, the forest policy and legal instruments inputs limits to social and economical inclusion within the activity, mainly due to the use of a single silvicultural practice – selective cutting with natural regeneration, which should not be confused with SFM. Institutions need capacity building looking into enforcing a decentralized decision making process. Forest concession with the model used in Brazil facilitate public agents corruption, drive social and economical exclusion by concentrating large areas into the hands of a few selected companies, and initiate a cycle of forest degradation which ends by deforestation. The conclusion is for the feasibility of the used methodology to evaluate the advance of SFM implementation, al.owing a measurement of regional policy effectiveness. It is suggested that these C&I of SFM at country level become part of the Brazilian Forest Code, with their inclusion at art 15th within the following paragraph: “Only Paragraph: The behavior of technical plans of conduction and management regulated will be evaluated according with their contribution for regional sustainable development, towards regional level C&I comparable with those used at other countries in the world, to be regulated within the period of one year”.
