Certify Your Expertise in Sustainable Project Management™CSPMS

Project management is evolving, and sustainability is now a key measure of success. PMI’s Maximizing Project Success report highlights that traditional metrics like scope, schedule, and budget are no longer enough—organizations are now measuring projects by their long-term value, stakeholder impact, and sustainability outcomes​.

GPM’s Insights into Sustainable Project Management 2024 report further supports this, showing that 73% of project professionals consider sustainability critical, yet 68% of organizations still lack alignment between their project management practices and their sustainability goals​.

The Certified Sustainable Project Manager (Specialist) – CSPMs certification validates your ability to lead moderately complex projects and shows that you can apply sustainability principles to ensure that your projects contribute to environmental, social, and economic goals.
