IPMA is proud to announce the finalists of the Sustainability Project Management Award part of the IPMA Global Project Excellence Award 2026, recognizing projects and organizations that have successfully integrated sustainability principles into their vision, delivery, and long-term impact.
Sustainability has become a defining element of successful projects, with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles playing an increasingly important role in shaping how projects are planned, delivered, and governed. Organizations are expected to balance environmental responsibility, social value, and business objectives while ensuring responsible governance and long-term resilience. This year’s finalists demonstrate how thoughtful project management, strong stakeholder collaboration, and responsible decision-making can transform sustainability ambitions into measurable results.
The shortlisted projects showcase innovative approaches to addressing complex challenges while creating lasting value for communities, organizations, and the environment. They reflect the growing role of project professionals in driving sustainable transformation and delivering outcomes that extend beyond traditional project boundaries.
Through their commitment to excellence, these finalists represent inspiring examples of how projects can contribute to a more resilient, responsible, and sustainable future.
Let’s celebrate the achievements of the IPMA Global Project Excellence Award 2026 Sustainability finalists:
