Certification · Effective 5 June 2026

An update to the GPM-b™ certification is coming

The globally recognized Green Project Manager – Basic™ (GPM-b™) certification is evolving into the Certified Sustainable Project Professional (CSPP)™ certification, effective 5 June 2026.

Built for today’s project landscape, the CSPP™ certification equips you to embed sustainability across every stage of the project lifecycle—shifting from purpose-led participation to business value-led capability, and helping you deliver projects that reduce risk, improve efficiency and achieve measurable value for people, planet and prosperity.

Current GPM-b™ certification holders will be eligible for a no-cost upgrade.
Applicants may take the current GPM-b™ exam through 31 December 2026.

A personal competence score

See your strengths and your stretch areas mapped across the eight CSPP™ domains. You will know at a glance where you are close to the threshold and where the credential will challenge you most.

Your top gaps, with a reading list

The assessment identifies the two domains where you are furthest from the CSPP™ threshold and tells you exactly which chapters of the PMI® GPM® Practice Guide to read first. No more guessing where to start.

A pathway built around what you hold

PMP® or CAPM® holders qualify for the shorter CSPP™ pathway. Current CSPP™ or GPM-b™ holders see the advanced credentials, CSPMs™ and CSPMx™. The assessment routes you to the right next step.

Your results, only if you want them

If you want a copy of your results to keep, share your email at the end. We will send the report and that is it. Two separate consent boxes for storage and marketing, in that order. You stay in control.

What makes us different?

Sustainability Meets Project Management Excellence

At GPM, we bridge the gap between sustainability and project management, delivering innovative solutions that drive environmental, social, and economic impact without compromising project success.

Tailored Consulting Solutions with a Personal Touch

Our boutique, white-glove approach ensures that every solution is crafted to meet your unique needs, with hands-on support from start to finish. We don’t offer cookie-cutter services—we offer custom-fit solutions that deliver results.

Your Trusted Partner in Driving Impact

At GPM, we bring together sustainability leadership, project delivery expertise, and a people-centered mindset to help organizations drive meaningful, lasting impact. We’re not just supporting the shift to a more sustainable world — we’re helping lead it, one project at a time.

Our approach is deliberately boutique and proudly hands-on. In an era of automation and one-size-fits-all solutions, we offer something rare: tailored support, real relationships, and white-glove service that puts your goals first. Every engagement is shaped around your organization’s unique context — no templates, no shortcuts.

We don’t believe tackling the world’s biggest challenges means losing sight of creativity, collaboration, or even a little fun. When you work with GPM, you get more than a provider — you gain a true partner. One who brings deep knowledge, fresh thinking, and a human touch to every step of the journey.

We have come a long way!

Since our founding as a think tank in 2009 ...

GPM began as a think tank in 2009 under the working name "Project Silver Baton," symbolizing the idea of passing the baton 50 years into the future. Since then, we’ve grown into a global leader in sustainable project management, achieving milestones that continue to shape the industry's future.
