- Integration of Environment, Social and Governance practices into Project Management through AutomationPublication . Medeiros, Sofia Soares; Pinto, José Ângelo; Pereira, Olga Filipa de Andrade BritesThe increasing focus on sustainability and ethical governance has driven the integration of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices into various business domains, including project management. This dissertation examines the intersection of ESG principles and project management, specifically emphasizing the role of automation in enhancing these practices. This study identifies key trends, challenges, and benefits associated with ESG integration in project management through a thorough literature review and critical analysis. The research underscores how automation technologies can streamline ESG reporting, enhance stakeholder engagement, and ensure compliance with sustainability standards. A 2-step approach was used, combining bibliometric analysis and a quantitative study. We developed a structured questionnaire to gather insights from industry professionals in different contexts of project management and academics. The findings highlight the potential of ESG automation to optimize project outcomes and foster a more sustainable and socially responsible business environment. This work contributes to the existing knowledge by offering recommendations for practitioners such as elaborating ESG reports, how to use ESG practices for project purposes, developing automation skills to improve project management services and run projects more sustainably, besides promoting further research in this evolving field.
