Overview
Higher education institutions have been steadily integrating sustainable practices into their operations. Despite these efforts in the implementation, several challenges must be overcome to achieve sustainability. There is a lack of studies that investigate sustainable development in higher education, and the efforts of a small, specialized university have been scarcely analyzed in detail. This manuscript addresses the path toward sustainability followed by a private Brazilian technological university. The university in Sao Paulo is one of the region's most traditional and oldest universities, focused on engineering, computing, and business. Data from 2019/2020 on energy and water consumption and solid waste generation for the university campus were discussed and benchmarked with GreenMetric indicators. The data was analyzed by a theoretical framework composed of 6 dimensions. Challenges were identified, and remedial actions were proposed to transform the university into a greener campus. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, the higher education institution kept sustainability projects active, some of which received international awards. However, this study reveals that although sustainable development is considered very important to HEI and society, it is not yet embedded in the system's strategies, activities, and policies. Keywords: Performance assessment, Sustainable development, Higher education institutions, Sustainability practices, Sustainability indicators. Instituicoes de ensino superior (IES) tem integrado constantemente praticas sustentaveis em suas operacoes. Apesar desses esforcos na implementacao, varios desafios devem ser superados para alcancar a sustentabilidade. Faltam estudos que investiguem o desenvolvimento sustentavel na educacao superior, e os esforcos de uma universidade especializada tem sido pouco analisados em detalhes. Este manuscrito aborda o caminho rumo a sustentabilidade percorrido por uma universidade tecnologica privada brasileira. A universidade e uma das mais tradicionais e antigas da regiao, com foco em engenharia, computacao e negocios. Os dados de 2019/2020 sobre consumo de energia e agua e geracao de residuos solidos para o campus da universidade foram discutidos e comparados com indicadores GreenMetric. Os dados tambem foram analisados por um referencial teorico composto por 6 dimensoes. Desafios foram identificados e acoes corretivas foram propostas para transformar a universidade em um campus mais verde. Mesmo durante a pandemia da COVID-19, a instituicao manteve ativos os projetos de sustentabilidade, alguns dos quais premiados internacionalmente. No entanto, este estudo revela que, embora o desenvolvimento sustentavel seja considerado muito importante para as IES e para a sociedade, este conceito ainda nao esta totalmente inserido nas estrategias, atividades e politicas da universidade. Palavras-chave: Avaliacao de desempenho, Desenvolvimento sustentavel, Instituicoes de ensino superior, Praticas de sustentabilidade, Indicadores de sustentabilidade.
