Sumario: This research carried out the environmental performance diagnosis at the University of Cundinamarca in its headquarters located in Fusagasuga city, in order to analyze the benefits of implementing an environmental management system and build strategies for its implementation. The research is part of the concepts of sustainable development and environmental management as well as environmental problems caused by the Universities. As a result the direct impact over the environment is evidenced and it is concluded that it is necessary to apply a tool providing senior management to improve the performance of administrative, academic and non-operating activities to not continue impacting the environment; also determine the benefits and advantages that can be exploited in the implementation of an environmental management system based on the existing management systems such as quality management system based on the technical standard NTC GP 1000 and the management control system based on the MECI model.
