Abstract

This article aims to propose a phased methodology for establishing a sustainable incubator for startups in the trade, services, and tourism sectors, integrating the principles of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The research employed an exploratory approach, collecting data through a questionnaire administered to 11 organizations within the ecosystem of Joinville, Santa Catarina. The results revealed different levels of sustainability maturity: 36% of organizations were at an incipient stage, 27% at an intermediate level, and only 36% showed a more advanced structure. The main barriers identified were limited financial resources (55%), lack of knowledge on how to get started (45%), and the absence of clear impact metrics (27%). Based on these findings, a methodological proposal was developed comprising three progressive modules: education and first steps, tools and metrics, and innovation and scaling. In addition, practical solutions were identified, such as training pathways, self-applied ESG kits, and collaborative green hubs. The discussion of the findings confirmed the importance of adaptive models for incubators and startups, highlighting the role of higher education institutions and multisectoral partnerships as structuring elements. It is concluded that the systematic integration of ESG and SDGs strengthens the competitiveness of startups and contributes to a more resilient, inclusive innovation ecosystem aligned with the goals of the 2030 Agenda.
