Sustainable Project Management: A literature review

Today, more than ever, achieving sustainability of business activities, intertwining social, economic, and environmental perspectives, is one of the most challenging objectives for companies. Project Management processes are no exception. This paper aims to contribute to the research knowledge investigating literature on new trends of Project Management and Sustainability integration. Results indicate that academic literature about this topic is still in its infancy, but that scholars’ attention is growing, opening new research directions. From the literature review, we propose a new conceptual framework based on five dimensions: Corporate Policies and Practices, Resource management, Life-cycle orientation, Stakeholders’ engagement, and Organizational learning.
