Therefore, this study aimed to identify the sustainable practices of Brazilian public universities based on the disclosure of information from the 2018 Management Report. The Management Reports of 63 public universities were analyzed. Therefore, as universities have environmental actions and practices, however, they need to align with the 2030 Agenda. The analysis of Environmental Evidence helps to understand the 'green' practices of universities and allows organizations to be a reference for other universities that wish to implement practices environmental.
