The Project Sustainability Reporting Guide
In Partnership with Green Project Management
Achieve real sustainability. Use the Project Sustainability Reporting Guide to assess impact, apply materiality, and deliver regenerative results.
Summary
For executives, the message is clear: sustainability commitments are realized (or fall short) at the project level.
The PMI and Green Project Management (GPM) Project Sustainability Reporting Guide presents a maturity roadmap that helps organizations assess their current state, build capacity, and scale context-based practices for measurable impact. By embedding the P5 Framework into project governance, leaders can enhance risk management, strengthen ESG credibility, and align with global standards (GRI, SASB/ISSB, TCFD, SDGs, Kunming-Montreal) to drive regenerative outcomes. This isn’t just about compliance - it’s about positioning organizations for sustained performance and relevance in a resource-constrained world.
The guide challenges organizations to move beyond incremental “green” initiatives toward authentic, measurable sustainability and regeneration. It reframes project delivery as a strategic driver of sustainable value, shifting from financial optimization with environmental add-ons to managing performance across all forms of capital: natural, human, social, constructed, and economic.
