Faced with the imminent collapse of natural resources and the exhaustion of theplanet, sustainability indicates the way to preserve humankind: meeting currentneeds without compromising the survival of future generations. Each individual iscalled upon to review their behavior from a less individual perspective, in which long-term human well-being is considered. In order to do that, it is necessary to adoptnew patterns of production and consumption. Aiming to analyze the relationship of students of the Management course of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (Federal University of Ceará) with sustainability, this study proposes to analyze what sustainable behaviors would be practiced by the group. And whether such behaviors would be related to the respondent's gender or income. A questionnaire was applied to 252 Management students, and the analysis of the results showed that the academics were aware of the waste of electricity, of the use of alternative transportation instead of automobiles and of the use of equipment throughout its useful life.The students were concerned about water waste, although, most say they do not reuse water in their daily activities. Regarding the consumption of sustainable products, most students were indifferent. Women showed a more conscious behavior in relation to men. However, regarding income, no significant differences were observed.
