Train Your Organization
in Sustainable Project Management™

ESG goals are no longer voluntary. Sustainability reporting is becoming mandatory in major markets. Stakeholders, investors, and regulators are asking organizations to demonstrate — not just declare — sustainable performance. That evidence is generated in projects. The question is whether your project teams have the tools, methods, and knowledge to produce it.

For over 16 years, GPM has been the global standard for sustainable project management — developing the P5™ Standard, the PRiSM™ methodology, and the certification programs that project professionals and organizations now rely on worldwide. GPM training is available directly through GPM, through our global network of Accredited Training Partners, and through PMI.

The data your organization needs for sustainability disclosures is generated in your projects. Training your project teams is not a professional development decision — it is a governance decision.

What Your Team Will Learn

Sustainability Integration

How to embed sustainability into project planning, execution, and reporting — not as a separate workstream, but as part of how projects are governed and delivered.

P5™ Standard and Impact Assessment

How to use the PMI-GPM P5™ Standard to assess project impacts across People, Planet, Prosperity, Process, and Product — and develop a Sustainability Management Plan (SMP) that produces disclosure-ready data.

ESG Risk Identification and Mitigation

How to identify and address social, environmental, and economic risks early in the project lifecycle — before they become liabilities — using structured impact thresholds and materiality assessment.

ESG Reporting from Project Outcomes

How to capture and structure project-level sustainability data that feeds directly into GRI, ISSB, CSRD, and other disclosure frameworks — giving your sustainability team the evidence base it needs.

CSPP™ Certification Preparation

Preparation for the CSPP™ (formerly GPM-b™) — the industry-leading certification in sustainable project management, now part of the PMI certification family. GPM is IACET accredited; CEUs are recognized by employers, universities, and professional associations worldwide.

Why This Matters Now

Sustainability reporting requirements are tightening across major markets. The EU’s CSRD requires double materiality assessment. CSDDD requires supply chain due diligence. Investors are scrutinizing ESG claims for verifiable evidence. The organizations that will manage this well are those whose project teams already know how to generate that evidence — systematically, at the point of delivery, not retrospectively at reporting time.

Deliver on ESG and sustainability objectives through projects, not alongside them.
Connect project-level performance directly to organizational sustainability reporting and disclosure.
Improve risk management with sustainability-focused governance embedded in project delivery.
Produce auditable, verifiable sustainability outcomes — not narrative claims.

The tools, methods, and certifications that define sustainable project management globally were developed by GPM. Training your team with GPM means training with the source — not a derivative.
