Análise de Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) e práticas de Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) no IFAM: uma discussão crítica e propositiva

Abstract

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.
