This study explores the relationship between sustainability, Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs), Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards, and
Professional and Technological Education at the Federal Institute of Amazonas
(IFAM). Through a detailed analysis of IFAM's Institutional Development Plan (PDI),
we investigate the interconnection between Integral Human Formation, Polytechnics,
Omnilaterality, Sustainability, SDGs, and ESG in educational practice. Combining a
documentary evaluation of the current educational scenario at IFAM with an analysis
of the PDI's goals, we identified a significant institutional effort to integrate SDGs and
ESG practices, particularly in the social and governance dimensions, although the
absence of specific environmental goals was noted, which is crucial given the
Amazonian context. The research suggests the inclusion of measurable environmental
objectives such as sustainable projects, environmental education and research,
partnerships, campus environmental management, and community engagement. The
results provide insights to strengthen the connection between sustainability, SDGs,
ESG, and education, positioning IFAM as a regional leader in sustainable practices by
aligning education, research, and operations with SDGs and ESG criteria, thus
contributing to addressing contemporary environmental and social challenges.
