Only 20 pc of project professionals are extremely confident that their organisations can deliver on sustainability commitments, compared with 85 pc of sustainability executives who share this confidence.
A new study by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and Green Project Management (GPM), based on nearly 1,600 professionals across 35 countries, found that the confidence gap extends to Project Management Office leaders, with only 43 pc of whom sharing the executives' optimism.
The report, Executing Sustainability Strategy: When Ambition Meets Reality, also found that 79 pc of respondents consider sustainability important to their organisation's long-term success, but only 41 pc said it was fully integrated into projects and daily operations.
