This study investigates organizational actions that foster sustainable development, focusing on two Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Conducted in collaboration with a vocational training center and an industrial company in southern Brazil, this research aims to identify successful practices, key factors contributing to failure, and stakeholders’ awareness of sustainability. Adopting a qualitative and exploratory approach, the study collected data through case studies, action research, interviews, direct observation, and focus groups. Data were analyzed through content analysis across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The findings reveal that SDG 12 is linked to economic and environmental aspects, while SDG 4 is associated with social impacts. The study contributes to understanding the gap between sustainability standards and actual implementation, offering practical guidelines to strengthen organizational alignment with the 2030 Agenda.
