Abstract

In recent years, the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals into project management has 
gained significant importance due to rising concerns over climate change, social equity, and ethical governance. This 
study explores the concept of Sustainable Project Management (SPM) by analyzing how ESG principles can be 
embedded throughout the project lifecycle — from initiation to closure. With the increasing complexity of modern 
projects, traditional project management approaches are no longer sufficient to meet sustainability targets. This paper 
proposes a framework for ESG integration supported by emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big 
Data, and Blockchain. It also highlights real-world use cases, discusses industry challenges, and suggests 
recommendations for improving ESG alignment in diverse project environments. The study concludes by emphasizing 
the role of project managers as change agents in driving sustainable transformation through strategic ESG 
implementation.
