This study aims to evaluate the influence of stakeholders in determining a Corporate Governance focused on Cleaner Production (CP). First, three constructs that influence the governance of enterprises to implement CP were identified in the literature: public policy, economic agents, and society. After that, a survey was carried out in companies associated with the Ethos Institute. Regarding statistical analysis, principal components analysis was conducted for categorical or nominal data. The results showed some trends in terms of stakeholders' influences, directing changes in the principles of corporate governance, which consequently boost endogenous and incremental changes in the production system for the deployment of CP. Public policy tends to tax carbon emissions from companies and promote low-interest financing for investment in clean technologies and production control in the production system; the economic agent tends to become aware of and comply with environmental laws that lead to implantation of CP; and society tends to buy green products and report deceptive business practices.
