This research sought to categorize the literature on performance in higher education institutions in relation to the sustainable approach related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A theoretical study was carried out, with an exploratory and qualitative approach, based on a systematic review of the literature using Prisma-P as a protocol for analysis of papers. The articles addressed indicators related to the following topics: Materials, Energy consumption and generation, Water consumption, Biodiversity, Emissions, Effluents and waste, Environmental assessment of suppliers, Social employment, Health and safety at work and Social training and Education, which are of paramount importance for higher education institutions to monitor the environmental impact of their activities and products. It was possible to identify in the articles that SDGs 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 17 were addressed by at least one of the articles. The main contribution of this research is the organization of the literature relating 3 very relevant topics: Performance management, management of educational institutions and the UN SDGs.
