Abstract
Today, universities face the great challenge of becoming competently sustainable institutions. A crucial role is played by SDGs in a university's progress toward sustainability, which under the umbrella of the 2030 Agenda, set out the challenges faced by these institutions. This chapter determines the extent to which the prism of sustainability is present in the strategic planning of the public universities of the Andalusian Autonomous Community (Spain) and in their governance models. For this, the authors undertook an analysis of the strategic and operational plans of these institutions, focusing on the presence of SDGs in the various lines of action contained within them. In parallel, they also carried out an analysis of the socio-corporate image that these universities project from a sustainability perspective. The results show that these universities are motivated toward implementing a sustainable governance model, but they also highlight a number of deficiencies in addressing some SDGs that are sure to become future challenges.
