Gilbert Silvius discusses sustainability in project management. He defines sustainability as balancing social, environmental, and economic interests over the long-term, including consideration for future generations. Key concepts are the three pillars of people, planet, profit and taking a lifecycle approach. Implications for project management include incorporating sustainability into processes, reporting, and developing competencies to meet this challenge.
