In this paper, we propose using a sustainability measurement metric to evaluate a campus of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Mato Grosso (IFMT), aiming to strengthen practices and ensure greater transparency of related actions to the topic. Sustainability refers to the ability to create means to meet the basic needs of the present without affecting future generations, relating economic, social, cultural, and environmental actions to preserve natural resources. Therefore, actions need to be taken to make this happen today. However, today, sustainability is not yet a vanquished topic, but work like this can contribute to improving and measuring sustainability. To develop this Index, the dimensions characterizing sustainability and the relevant variables were identified, after which the Index was developed, and its validation was conducted through its application using structured interview techniques with on-site visits. Data were spreadsheeted and analyzed using Microsoft Office Excel software. As a result, the institution received a score of 48.15%, which indicates that sustainability actions are considered deficient. However, it is expected to provide the institution with data to support new strategic decisions regarding investments and resource allocations to strengthen the institution's performance in the field of sustainability.
