Sustainability has emerged in order to improve the quality of life for living things on the planet. The objective of the article is to determine the factors that drive the sustainable behavior of the universities of northeast Mexico. The results are achieved from a qualitative exploratory research, where the most relevant internal and external elements of this phenomenon were established. The method used consisted of a case study at universities in northeast Mexico, identifying as individual determinants of sustainable behavior the main elements at the individual, institutional and contextual levels, such as regulatory frameworks, existing competences, the presence or absence of an awareness, and attitudes.
