Sustainability

Sustainability is complex and fast-evolving challenge, one which means different things to different people. Climate change is a societal issue that transcends national borders and sectors. The pursuit of sustainability and the collective effort to mitigate climate change have become local and global imperatives. 

PMI recognises the urgent need for project managers to be armed with the relevant information, tools and techniques to identify and deliver projects with consideration for climate change and sustainability and that project managers need to position themselves at the forefront of change by responsibly carrying out an awareness towards Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues that may impact corporate cultures, investments, and favourable placement within economies.  

Our Sustainability Group

PMI wants to inspire and encourage PMI members to be knowledgeable and proactively involved in climate change and sustainability Goals from their project’s “cradle to cradle” stages.

The essence of this initiative lies in its collaborative nature—a platform that unites project managers who share a vision of environmental stewardship and climate resilience.

This community thrives on the exchange of knowledge, best practices, and innovative solutions that drive the agenda of sustainability and climate action forward. Through continual learning and collective impact, the empowers its members to become change agents in their day-to-day lives.  

  • All Project Managers who have an interest in Sustainability and who’s projects need to take measures to deliver sustainability outcomes or improvements. 
  • Sustainability can drive value, improve perception of a product or service and can bring social and societal benefits, beyond the standard project KPI’s
  • The purpose of the community of practice is to allow for greater sharing of ideas on how to shape sustainability projects and the complexities involved in delivering and achieving the benefits for these. 

 

As Climate Action Week in Ireland grew to hundreds of events nationwide, An Taisce faced a challenge: how to stay aligned and effective with a small team. Through Projects on Purpose, with support from Project Managers Without Borders (PWMB), PMI Ireland Chapter volunteers introduced practical project management tools—helping deliver 400+ events, mobilize 3,500 members, engage over 12,000 people, and reach millions through coordinated communications. The result: earlier planning, stronger collaboration, and a more scalable way to deliver impact.
