A dedicated event held at the University of Information Technology and Management (UITM) marked the official presentation of the ESG4PMCHANGE initiative — a project aiming to embed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into the heart of project management practices.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Andrzej Rozmus, Rector of UITM, emphasized the university’s strong commitment to sustainability and international cooperation. Grzegorz Karpiuk, Project Office Manager at UITM, underlined the strategic value of ESG4PMCHANGE in shaping a new generation of project leaders who are ready to lead with responsibility, impact, and purpose.
The event featured presentations of tools and strategies for integrating ESG into project design and execution, with a focus on fostering social responsibility and sustainable outcomes. These discussions reflected the broader goals of ESG4PMCHANGE — empowering changemakers to lead projects that align with global sustainability objectives.
The event brought together a diverse audience of faculty members, researchers, students from multiple disciplines, and representatives from institutional and business sectors, all united by their shared interest in responsible project management.
Participants expressed strong enthusiasm for the practical application of ESG principles, noting that initiatives like ESG4PMCHANGE can help them become more conscious and impactful project leaders. The need to incorporate ESG into educational programs was also highlighted, with several attendees proposing the development of specialized courses and workshops.
As ESG4PMCHANGE continues to grow, it stands as a promising example of how cross-sector collaboration can accelerate the integration of sustainability into the project management profession.
