Management
MANAGEMENT ACTIONS
Management actions were considered to be those managed through administrative structures and management policies, those related to employment, finance, campus services, support services, facilities, procurement, human resources and student administration, as suggested by Sustainable Development Solutions Network Australia/Pacific in Getting started with the SDGs in universities: A guide for universities, higher education institutions, and the academic, published in 2017.
Information was obtained through the newspaper Informa, UFES's main website and Campuses, where the actions carried out between the years 2016 to 2020 were researched, not counting the same actions that took place in different campuses. Thus, a total of 424 different management actions were obtained in all UFES's Campuses.
The process of classifying the actions took place using the content analysis methodology, observing the purpose of the actions investigated against the Brazilian goals, established in the document "SDG - National Goals for Sustainable Development Goals" prepared by the Institute for Applied Economic Research - Ipea, published in 2018.
Number of management actions carried out in accordance with the main SDGs throughout UFES. In addition to these, we identified 31 shares in the remaining 11 SDGs.
Among the 175 Brazilian goals defined by the Institute for Applied Economic Research – Ipea, UFES's actions were classified into 71 different goals. The 424 actions were related to more than one goal and, therefore, a total of 491 goals were achieved in all Campuses.
Goals identified by SDG according to management actions from 2016 to 2020. 
Goals identified by SDG according to management actions per year.
In Alegre Campus, 98 goals were identified; in São Mateus, 109; and in Vitória (Maruípe and Goiabeiras) there were 284.
Proportion of goals identified by UFES's Campus.
Most of the actions carried out were considered as final goals (72%), that is, they are those whose objective is directly related to achieving the SDG. The others (28%) were implementation goals, as they refer to human, financial, technological and governance resources (institutional arrangement and tools: legislation, plans, public policies, programs, etc.) necessary to achieve the SDGs, as per Ipea.
Summary of results of management actions at UFES.
