This work presents the results of the application, at Universidade do Estado de Santa Catarina (UDESC), Brazil, of a questionnaire on the subject of Sustainability Indicators, and emphasizes data relating to the commitments assumed for the next 3 to 5 years. The UDESC is part of the Network of Sustainability Indicators in Universities (RISU) Project, and the application of the questionnaire provided an opportunity to relaunch a debate within the university community on the issue of sustainability. A questionnaire with 114 indicators, distributed across 11 thematic sections, was filled out by the competent authorities of the UDESC. Analysis of the results showed the actions have been implemented, and those yet to be implemented at the university. More importantly, it showed the commitments already assumed by the institution. Based on a consideration of these commitments, it discusses what the next steps should be for the construction of sustainability at the university.
