GPM Project Certification · ISO/IEC 17065 Aligned

GPM Certified Green Project GPM360°™
The Green Standard in Project Certification

The only certification that assesses projects at any stage — planned, in-process, or completed.

ESG reporting is no longer aspirational — it is a disclosure obligation. Organizations need project-level evidence that their work contributes to environmental, social, and economic goals. GPM360° provides that evidence: a formal, independent, third-party certification of your project’s sustainability performance, built on the PMI-GPM P5™ Standard and aligned to four ISO standards.

 

GPM360° is not a self-assessment. It is an independent, evidence-based certification that gives your organization defensible, auditable proof of sustainable project delivery.

Why Organizations Choose GPM360°

ESG Reporting Support

GPM360° captures reliable, material project-level data that flows directly into ESG and financial disclosures — giving your sustainability team auditable evidence, not estimates.

Risk Identification and Mitigation

The assessment identifies environmental, social, and economic risks from project inception — before they become liabilities. Projects certify at any stage, so risks can be caught early or at completion.

Differentiation and Market Position

Certified projects carry verified, independent proof of sustainable delivery — a distinction that matters to investors, procurement bodies, and project clients who require evidence of ESG alignment.

Benchmarking Against the P5 Standard

Every assessment measures project performance against the PMI-GPM P5™ Standard across all five dimensions — People, Planet, Prosperity, Process, and Product — providing a structured, repeatable basis for improvement.

Cross-Department Alignment

The assessment process strengthens communication across project, sustainability, finance, and governance teams — driving shared accountability for outcomes.

Operational Excellence

Rigorous third-party assessment drives delivery competence — identifying gaps and reinforcing the practices that produce consistently sustainable outcomes.

Certify at Any Stage

Planned Projects

Certification based on project design and intended sustainability outcomes — establishing accountability before work begins.

In-Process Projects

Certification of sustainability performance during execution — identifying course corrections while there is still time to act.

Completed Projects

Certification of sustainability achievements and outcomes post-completion — providing verified evidence for ESG reporting and stakeholder communication.

The GPM360° Certification Process

GPM360° evaluates projects through a comprehensive, three-step process conducted by experienced, independent assessors.

Step 1 — Desktop Review

Our assessors conduct a detailed review of project documentation — including Project Charters, Risk Registers, and Sustainability Impact Assessments. Organizations using the P5 Impact Analysis are typically better prepared, as their documentation aligns directly with GPM360° standards.

Step 2 — On-Site Detailed Assessment

In-depth interviews and document reviews evaluate the project against all five P5 elements: People, Planet, Prosperity, Process, and Product. Each element is scored on a 1-to-5 Likert scale. Projects must achieve scores of 4 or 5 in each element and a total score covering at least 70% of all elements.

Step 3 — Validation and Certification

An independent validation team rigorously reviews the assessment results. A comprehensive assessment report is produced. Projects meeting GPM360° standards receive official certification, providing auditable evidence of sustainability and ESG performance.
GPM360 Certification Process

Global Standards, Trusted Certification

GPM360° certification aligns with four international ISO standards to ensure credibility, independence, and consistency across all assessments.

ISO/IEC 17065 — Conformity assessment for certification bodies
ISO 14001 — Environmental management systems
ISO 26000 — Guidance on social responsibility
ISO 9001 — Quality management systems

Independent Certification Board

Every GPM360° certification is reviewed by an Independent Certification Board composed of experienced sustainability professionals. This independent body ensures the certification process remains objective, transparent, and aligned with the highest environmental, social, and economic standards. The result is a certification that holds up to scrutiny from investors, regulators, and procurement bodies.

Why GPM360° Stands Apart

Global exclusivity — the only certification assessing projects under any scheme or methodology, at any stage of the lifecycle.
Unmatched quality assurance — independent board review and adherence to four ISO standards.
Disclosure-ready evidence — the assessment report is structured to support ESG disclosures under GRI, ISSB, and CSRD requirements.
Built on the P5 Standard — the only project certification grounded in the internationally recognized PMI-GPM P5™ Standard.

Choosing GPM360° means more than earning a certification. It validates your project’s contribution to a sustainable future and provides clear, data-driven evidence to support ESG goals and drive long-term impact.

GPM360° Assessors

GPM certifies assessors within organizations that have the capability to facilitate their own internal assessments using the GPM360° framework. Certification is achieved through a hands-on process where assessors-in-training conduct real-world project assessments alongside certified GPM assessors during an on-site engagement.

To maintain active assessor status, individuals must lead or co-lead at least one assessment within a 16-month period — ensuring assessors stay current with sustainability standards, best practices, and assessment methodology.
