The Federal University of Uberlândia (in Portuguese Universidade Federal de Uberlândia - UFU), while dealing with environmental issues in the academic and administrative areas since the decade of 1990, performed some environmental actions disjointed and without an environmental management system. But this scenario begins to change. In 2011 it is established the Directorate of environmental sustainability and the drafting of a proposal for environmental policy for academic and administrative activities which are related to the environment and sustainability. The present work rescues the main theoretical and conceptual integration of environmental issues in higher education institutions and presents previous and current contributions of the UFU, as well the process of creation of the Directorate of environmental sustainability and the development of projects, socializing the difficulties, challenges and achievements for implementation of environmental management at this University.
