I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Project Management Social Responsibility (PMSR) is an ethical framework that integrates

social and environmental considerations into project management practices. It goes beyond
traditional objectives by emphasizing stakeholder engagement, sustainable practices, ethical
sourcing, and community benefits. PMSR aims to create positive social and environmental
outcomes throughout the project lifecycle, contributing to the well-being of society and the
environment.

II. TOPIC RELEVANCE

PMSR is highly relevant due to several factors:

Stakeholder Expectations: Stakeholders increasingly expect organizations to address social and

environmental impacts. PMSR aligns with these expectations by promoting responsible project
management.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): PMSR contributes to achieving SDGs, such as

environmental protection, poverty reduction, and community well-being.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Compliance with laws and regulations related to social
and environmental responsibility is essential. PMSR ensures adherence to these requirements.

Reputation and Brand: Companies with strong social responsibility practices enhance their
reputation, attract clients, and retain productive workers.
