About the Event:

PMINZ are excited to announce another great Taranaki Branch event: Sustainability in Everyday Projects. Project managers play a vital role in embedding sustainability into everyday projects, and Colleen’s message emphasizes that small, thoughtful changes add up to significant impact. She highlights how sustainability—like safety—should be a fundamental project requirement, not an afterthought. By leveraging tools like the GPM P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management and the Circular Design Framework (Engineering NZ), teams can have lasting impact with purposeful outcomes.
