This paper aims to analyze the stage of institutionalization of the IFPB - Campus João Pessoa in terms of Organizational Sustainability. The study is based on the theory of Tolbert and Zucker (1998), which subdivides the process of institutionalization into three phases : Habitualization, objectification and sedimentation. As for the methodology, this research is characterized as qualitative, with descriptive / exploratory purposes and case study. Data collection will be done through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. For analysis of the data the research will use content analysis. Based on the analysis of these documents, it was possible to propose actions aimed at integrating the dimensions of sustainability, since the discourse of the developer is to create an environment conducive to the fulfillment of environmental, social and economic demands. The analysis of the process of institutionalization of organizational sustainability, showed that the sustainability theme in the institution is in the stage of habitualization or pre-institutionalization. As for the second phase of the process, the study pointed to a low objectification. For the sedimentation phase, the study pointed out that, although the importance of the theme (according to the contents of the interviews) was evidenced, the linkage of relevant positive results regarding the presence of sustainability in actions of the institution and the existence of a group of Defenders of the structure, the results showed that the quantitative of the group that defended the idea was insufficient and there was still a significant degree of resistance on the part of the opposition groups.
