Sustainability Metrics for Project Managers Training in Pretoria, South Africa
Classroom training in Pretoria · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,200
Clients, lenders and regulators now ask project teams to show the environmental and social footprint of what they build, not just whether it finished on time and on budget. The week explains how to choose sustainability indicators that fit a project's scope, from energy, water, materials and waste to community benefit, labour conditions and governance. You will estimate greenhouse gas emissions using Scope 1, 2 and 3 categories under the GHG Protocol, apply life-cycle thinking to design and procurement choices, and connect project measures to the Sustainable Development Goals and GRI disclosures. Baselines, targets and data collection plans are built for each indicator.
Later sessions show how to integrate these metrics into the project plan, risk register, supplier requirements and stage reviews, and how to present results in dashboards and sustainability reports. Quality and assurance topics cover data reliability and avoiding claims that could be seen as greenwashing. Exercises use a construction, energy or community development case to build a sustainability scorecard. Project managers, PMO staff, engineers, sustainability officers and programme leads are the main audience. You leave able to measure, track and report a project's sustainability performance with figures stakeholders can verify.
