Abstract: With the evolution of the concept of development, by strengthening the sustainability paradigm, it becomes necessary evolution of the discussions around clusters that incorporates considerations about such dimensions. Thus, this study aims at analyzing the occurrence of sustainable development practices, based on the triple bottom line model in a cluster. Therefore, it was chosen as empirical field study of a cluster of mobile, located in the municipality of Marco, in the state of Ceará. Your choice for this work was due both to the characteristics of this type of activity, which for depend on the extraction and use of natural resources, especially timber, has a great relationship with issues of environmental sustainability, as for the recognition of the strong economic performance of the cluster of Marco, which caused the city to be recognized as one of the largest furniture centers in the North and Northeast. We sought to identify economic (profit), social (people) and environmental (planet) statements, as well as verify the occurrence of synergy in the relationship cluster and sustainable development. In the literature review, Topics were built on the theoretical approach of clusters, the role of the political entrepreneur or collective entrepreneur and sustainable development and the triple bottom line model. The methodology was based on a qualitative approach, whose techniques were semi structured interviews, observation and documentary corpus. Were intentionally and for accessibility chosen six entrepreneurs. It can be concluded that, based on the triple bottom line model, some characteristics of sustainable development are present, especially related to environmental (planet) and economic (profit). The social dimension (people) still need to be improved, which could happen by the influence of synergist or political entrepreneur.
