description The objective of this work was to describe the indicators of environmental sustainability in the context of the Wayuu population. This is a descriptive and application-type research in the field, based on a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, taking as a sample 12 managers of public and private companies with an impact in the North of Colombian La Guajira. The observation method was applied as a research technique and a questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. It was made up of different items based on the Likert-style attitude scale, with five response alternatives. The results have shown that the environmental performance indicator reflects a moderately favorable category in companies, this reveals how managers apply only some important components on the treatment of the environment related to their productive activities. In conclusion, for the dimension, the global results are moderately favorable in the reality of the companies. Managers need to apply adjustments and add activities to their environmental practices, to show better indicators for environmental sustainability within the company's operation.

El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir los indicadores de sostenibilidad ambiental en el contexto de la población Wayuu. Se trata de una investigación de tipo descriptiva y aplicativa en el campo, basada en un diseño no experimental, de corte transversal, tomando como muestra 12 directivos de empresas públicas y privadas con incidencia en el Norte de La Guajira colombiana. Como técnica de investigación se aplicó el método de observación y como instrumento de recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario. Estaba compuesto por diferentes ítems basados en la escala de actitudes tipo Likert, con cinco alternativas de respuesta. Los resultados han mostrado que el indicador de desempeño ambiental refleja una categoría moderadamente favorable en las empresas, esto revela cómo los gestores aplican sólo algunos componentes importantes sobre el tratamiento del medio ambiente relacionado con sus actividades productivas. En conclusión, para la dimensión, los resultados globales son moderadamente favorables en la realidad de las empresas. Los gestores necesitan aplicar ajustes y agregar actividades a sus prácticas ambientales, para mostrar mejores indicadores de sustentabilidad ambiental dentro de la operación de la empresa.
