The Future of
Project Management
is Here:

Get ready to redefine what "success" means. In a groundbreaking collaboration, the Project Management Institute (PMI) and Green Project Management (GPM) are joining forces to unleash the next era of project management—one that's powerful, purposeful, and sustainable.

This is more than just a trend; it's a movement to transform the very core of the profession. Forget simply delivering on time and on budget. The new standard is about creating lasting value and building a better future with every project you lead.

Introducing the GPM-b Certification:

This is your key to becoming a leader in the green project revolution. The GPM-b certification proves you have the skills to:

  • Lead Responsibly: Masterfully balance business goals with environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

  • Drive Real Impact: Build unbreakable trust with stakeholders by delivering projects that benefit everyone.

  • Go Beyond the Surface: Instead of just aligning with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), you'll learn to tackle the root causes of global issues, driving deep, systemic change.

Powered by the robust GPM P5 Standard and a practical guide, this certification equips you not just with theory, but with a clear, actionable methodology to deliver regenerative projects that truly make a difference.

This is your chance to lead the charge and shape a more sustainable and prosperous world, one project at a time.
