Sustainability model for Higher Education Institutions: a self-diagnosis strategy for the transition towards sustainability. Case study

Abstract

This work is an alternative of action that, from Higher Education Institutions (HEI), constitutes a strategy for their transition process to sustainability. The research was carried out through a case study, whose unit of analysis was an HEI in Querétaro. The application of the Sustainability Model for HEIs is presented in four areas: environmental sustainability, social responsibility, economic viability and institutional relevance, used to quantify their sustainability actions.
