This master thesis studies the barriers and solutions that organizations might encounter during projects that have the goal to increase sustainability. This exploratory study is based on interviews with Norwegian firms that differ in sizes and industry they operate in, and a literature review for comparison. Projects are a significant part of the Norwegian economy and have historically been a good tool for companies to enhance their technology and. With the world now acknowledging the dangers of global warming, every business needs to participate in reducing pollution and becoming sustainable to meet established goals.Sustainability project management has become a crucial aspect of many organizations as they strive to meet the challenging requirements of becoming sustainable. Although the combination between projects and sustainability looks like a good match, the reality is that many firms struggle to successfully carry out sustainable project management, and the reasons for this are not thoroughly explored. Our study sets to recognize concrete problems that occur when conducting sustainable projects and try to understand what makes the integration of sustainability into project management so difficult. To better understand these barriers, we will gather information about success factors and see if there are differences between the industry sectors.
