Survey on Sustainability PM² Certifications & Micro-Credentials

As part of our broader stakeholder engagement strategy, we have successfully completed a targeted survey under the SPM² project (Sustainable Project Management Methodology based on PM²). This activity focused on exploring the evolving needs and expectations around sustainability-focused certifications and micro-credentials in project management.

Objectives and Focus Areas

The survey gathered input from professionals and stakeholders across various sectors, with the goal of assessing how sustainability principles could be more effectively integrated into PM²-based training and certification frameworks. Topics included the perceived value of sustainability credentials, areas for skill development, and the role of project managers in advancing sustainable practices.

Impact on the SPM² Project

The survey results provide essential input for shaping how sustainability is integrated into the PM² methodology. Key areas of impact include:

  • Training Design: Insights from respondents help define the structure and content of future training programs focused on sustainable project management, ensuring they meet the real needs of practitioners.
  • Certification & Micro-Credentials: Feedback directly supports the development of new sustainability-focused certification pathways and micro-credentials that reflect evolving professional expectations.
  • Practical Tools & Guidance: The findings guide the creation of tools, templates, and updated PM² guidance that enable professionals to align their projects with sustainability goals more effectively.
  • Support for ESG Integration: The survey reinforces the demand for stronger alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, helping embed these considerations into project planning and delivery practices.

Continuing the Engagement

This engagement activity is one of several efforts within the SPM² initiative designed to enhance the role of project management in tackling sustainability challenges. By integrating stakeholder feedback early in the development process, we make certain that future outputs, such as updated guidance, training modules, and certification criteria, are firmly based on real-world needs and practices.
