Abstract

One of the most-recognized circular economy frameworks is the Cradle-to-Cradle design philosophy. However, integrating circularity in business practices impacts all organizational activities and not just the design of products and services. One of the business processes that needs to integrate sustainability is project management. The study reported in this article explores the integration of the Cradle-to-Cradle philosophy into project management practices. Based on a single in-depth case study, the integration of Cradle-to-Cradle into the knowledge areas of project management within a company that is widely recognized and praised for its commitment to sustainability and its compliance with Cradle-to-Cradle, was explored. The study revealed as most impacted knowledge areas: resource, integration, quality, communications, and stakeholder management. By identifying these areas, the study contributes to the emerging body of knowledge on sustainable project management and provides a better understanding of practical implications for companies striving to become sustainable.
