It cannot be possible to form and unite the University that is required these days, without the people who interact within this institution having a sustainable way of thinking, one of the priority ways to achieve this goal is to manage the development of stakeholders of University Social Responsibility (USR). The Faculty of Administration Sciences (FAS) of the Universidad Autónoma de Coahuila has as its priority tasks to develop sustainable thinking through continuous improvement and the incessant search of areas of opportunity in these subjects. The objective of this work was to evaluate the degree of social and environmental management that exists in the FAC focusing on the actions that are carried out in a positive way and in those that must be worked to achieve an advance and development of these stakeholders of the (USR). The empirical research was based on the exploration of a sample that included 211 people who study and work in the FAS. The evaluation instrument incorporated questions that relate the interaction of the FAS with society and the local community and the development of plans, actions and knowledge related to the environmental management required by the University for the training of new types of professionals. For its evaluation, Contingency Tables and Exploratory Factor Analysis were used. The results demonstrate the existence of strategic planning, commitment and integration of social issues in the way the University operates and a linkage in the midst of work and commitment in the improvement of environmental aspects, all of this while there is no training, dissemination and technology innovation that promotes sustainable development in these matters.
