The use of
environmental and sustainable indicators of global organizations has greater
advantages than those of national initiatives or those developed by researchers
in said subject, due to the fact that they have a much broader scope for
sustainability, have been applied in a systematic manner and therefore have
greater comparability and reliability. The environmental indicators are
constructed from the approaches to sustainable development in universities with
regards to the social, economic, institutional and environmental dimensions in
the organizations. This work involves the application of environmental and
sustainable indicators for internationally recognized efficiency in university
activities, which contribute towards organizing, summarizing and developing the
processes for development planning and environmental management.
