Sustainability
Many organizations are beginning to plan sustainability into their
projects in a variety of different ways.
- planning sustainability on the front end of a project (materiel
procurements)) or
p
- on the back end (reducing landfill waste),
The United States Department of Defence has strongly
encouraged the implementation of “green” procurements and
has been aggressively funding programs and projects that are
designed to reduce waste and increase renewable energy
initiatives.
initiatives
Embracing and understanding the concept of sustainability will
enable project team and the organization to reap the benefits of
the growing drive toward sustainability-based project
management.
Social Responsibility
Along with sustainability, there is an emerging trend to
conduct business in a socially responsible manner.
There has been eever
er increasing scr
scrutiny
tin placed on
companies that exploit foreign workers, waste the natural
resources of under-regulated countries, or damage the
environment through negligence or in the name of increased
profit.
In terms of project management, corporate social
responsibility (CSR)
(CS ) can be defined
f as project planning to
ensure that profits are not generated through cost savings
that result from the maltreatment of workers or by channelling
business to countries that do not enforce accepted
environmental standards
