Abstract

Sustainability is one of the most important challenges of our time. How can we develop prosperity, without compromising the life of future generations? Companies are integrating sustainability in their marketing, corporate communication, annual reports, and in their actions. The concept of sustainability has more recently also been linked to project management. This chapter explores the concept of sustainability and its application to project management processes. It aims to provide guidance on how the standards of project management should integrate the concepts and principles of sustainability. After a review of the relevant literature on sustainability, its leading principles are identified and applied to the standards for project management processes.
