Abstract
Once the question about sustainability was, should we do something about it? Now it is, what can we do about it? Times has changed and with all the new knowledge on the subject, people has become aware that this is something that cannot wait. To implement sustainability in an organization requires thorough planning of the organization and its strategies. This is required from the very beginning of every new project that is started and therefore an important step for the project managers. To implement sustainability, it is important to coordinate all the smaller steps in a project and assure the sustainable thinking with every decision. The industry is rising as never seen before and the request for new buildings, clothes electronics and production in general is flourishing. This improves the pressure that already is on the project managers around the world, and the choices they must make revolving sustainability. How do you rate if a project is a success now that sustainability also has to be considered? Does economy beat sustainability when it comes to the success of a project? Sustainability and project management is often talked about in the same sentence but has not been researched very much [1]. With a sustainable mindset, the project manager and the entire team and organization, might achieve greater results that without it.
