Abstract

Environmental sustainability presents a new challenge for organizations due to the scarcity of resources, and entrepreneurs recognize the need for action. This research aims to determine the characteristics of entrepreneurial students with regard to environmental sustainability. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional positivist paradigm and administered a questionnaire to 181 university students that focused on 6 variables related to environmental criteria. The hypothesis proposed that working students have a greater concern for environmental issues. The main finding was that students in training demonstrated a critical and positive awareness of environmental sustainability. Additionally, those who work exhibited a greater acceptance of engaging in activities that promote environmental sustainability. In conclusion, the research demonstrates that students who work recognize the importance of environmental sustainability in business processes and the conservation of both renewable and non-renewable resources necessary for ensuring the continuity of organizations. These students also acknowledge the impact of undergraduate training on decision-making across various areas of entrepreneurship.
