New PMI research reveals growing gap between sustainability ambition and delivery

As organisations across Africa and the rest of the world seek to translate sustainability ambitions into business outcomes, new research from Project Management Institute (PMI) and Green Project Management, the world's leading organisation advancing sustainable practices within the profession, reveals a critical challenge - many are struggling to deliver measurable sustainability outcomes.

Built around the PMI® GPM® P5™ Standard for Sustainability in Project Management and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the certification helps practitioners integrate sustainability into project planning, delivery and decision-making." The research found that organisations most successful in delivering sustainability commitments typically share two characteristics: leadership alignment around a clear definition of success and strong organisational capability to translate sustainability priorities into project-level decisions and actions.
