Sustainability Management Plan
17 September 2015
page 2 of 10
Overview
Purpose The purpose of the Sustainability Management Plan is to analyse the
sustainability aspects of the project and its contribution to the sustainability
strategy of the permanent organization / customer.
The primary uses of the Sustainability Management Plan are to:
• Analyse the sustainability aspects of the project.
• Identify the contributions the project makes to the sustainability strategy
and ambitions of the permanent organization.
• Create a common understanding and agreement on the sustainability
contributions of the project.
• Provide a baseline for the monitoring, controlling and reporting of the
sustainability contributions of the project.
The Sustainability Management Plan is a living product in that it should
always reflect the current status, plans and controls of the project. Its
component products will need to be updated and re-baselined, as necessary,
at the end of each stage, to reflect the current status of its constituent parts.
The version of the Sustainability Management Plan that was used to gain
authorization for the project is preserved as the basis against which
performance will later be assessed when closing the project.
