Abstract

More projects today are driven by sustainability goals than ever before. The need for sustainability as a critical factor for project success is clear. However, it is interesting to investigate the link between project management and sustainability more comprehensively. Especially by taking into account the importance of stakeholders’ involvement in project management activities. Thus, this chapter examines whether stakeholders’ perspectives on sustainability can provide a positive contribution to project management practices. Four different projects with goals related to sustainability in the Netherlands are studied and used as case studies to know the differences between the perspectives of stakeholders involved in the projects. One of the findings that was discovered is that the inclusion of “People” and “Planet” performance indicators in the management and delivery of projects is still rarely implemented, although the stakeholders categorize their projects as sustainable projects.
