This study investigates how multinational IT organizations strategically integrate sustainability metrics into their project and portfolio management practices. It explores the methods used, the challenges encountered, and the outcomes achieved. The research builds upon various studies and practices to demonstrate how sustainability is increasingly becoming a strategic consideration across different project levels.
This qualitative study employed a comprehensive literature review and comparative case studies, allowing an in-depth understanding of how sustainability metrics are embedded into project management frameworks. The outcomes reveal that although there are challenges such as financial risks, measurement difficulties, and cultural resistance the overall benefits are significant. These benefits span three key areas: economic performance, environmental impact, and social welfare promotion.
The report emphasizes the need for a reliable sustainable structure, with local efforts supported and leadership committed to fostering a culture of sustainability over the long term. The study offers both theoretical and practical contributions, providing valuable insights into how organizations can enhance their sustainability practices in the rapidly evolving global IT landscape.
