This paper aims to evaluate the perception of experts on the contribution of the Brazilian industrial sector in terms of sustainable development, focusing in particular on three of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) presented by United Nations (UN). A survey was conducted with professionals from Brazilian industry in order to identify their perceptions. It obtained sixty one answers and the collected data was evaluated technically and descriptively by TOPSIS analysis. It was found that Brazil has been carrying out some relevant actions, both sporadic and planned, with significant opportunities for improvement. Comparatively, the most cited contributions are those related to increasing productivity and technological modernization, which contributes to the inclusion of young people in the labor market, improving resource efficiency and the minimization of environmental degradation. Conversely, the least cited contributions are those related to the stimulation of sustainable consumption and negotiation with small companies. Therefore, the authors believe that the findings of this research could be useful for professionals and academics as guidance. It is also important to mention that no similar paper was found with an academic basis, which reinforces the originality and the contribution of this paper.

本文旨在评估专家对巴西工业部门在可持续发展方面的贡献的看法，特别关注联合国（UN）提出的17个可持续发展目标（SDG）中的三个。为了确定他们的看法，对来自巴西行业的专业人员进行了调查。它获得了61个答案，并通过TOPSIS分析对收集的数据进行了技术和描述性评估。结果发现，巴西一直在进行一些相关的行动，包括零星的和计划中的，并有很大的改进机会。相对而言，最常被提及的贡献是与生产力提高和技术现代化有关的贡献，这有助于将年轻人纳入劳动力市场，提高资源效率并最大程度地减少环境恶化。相反，引用最少的是与促进可持续消费和与小公司谈判有关的贡献。因此，作者认为，本研究的结果可能对专业人士和学者作为指导有用。还必须提及的是，没有找到具有学术基础的类似论文，这加强了本文的原创性和贡献。
