Narrative:

Approximately 23 mins into the flight at cruise the cabin altitude horn sounded. We donned the oxygen mask, declared an emergency and accomplished the qrc: cabin altitude and emergency descent. We descended to FL100 and returned to sbgr. At FL100 the relief pilot returned to the cockpit and used satcom to contact dispatch and the maintenance controller. We followed the fuel dumping checklist landing distance tables and advised passenger and flight attendants returning to sbgr for a normal approach and landing. Advised sbgr operations of need for the fire trucks due to hot brakes and overweight landing. The landing was normal, the brakes were hot by the time we reached the gate. No fire truck responded.
