Abstract
The integration of sustainability within project environments has emerged as a central concern in contemporary project management literature and practice. This research paper examines the critical issue of sustainability integration and its impact on project success. Inadequate contextual knowledge often leads to ineffectual strategies, unsustainable outcomes, and unsuccessful projects, giving rise to practices like greenwashing and regulatory non-compliance. As the project environment (PE) transforms, sustainability is poised to become an enduring feature of project management (PM). This research closely examines tactical versus strategic, product versus project lifecycle approach, and PM versus project portfolio management (PPM) for a sustainable PE. Thus, this research paper introduces 'Sustainability Augmented Portfolio Management' (SAPoM) as a strategic approach leveraging Project Materiality assessment derived from sustainability reporting standards to create a sustainability-driven PE and enhanced PPM decision-making through integrated analytics. The SAPoM-based conceptual framework proposed here aligns projects with organisational objectives and sustainability principles, offering a strategic solution for the complex challenge of integrating sustainability within PEs.
