Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers sustainability initiatives from a project perspective. It describes 10 success factors and 10 pitfalls that should be considered or avoided in sustainability projects within companies. These factors serve as a guide for companies to effectively implement corresponding initiatives and to valorize the desired results of sustainable corporate management. The importance and relevance of these factors can vary depending on the situation and industry. The listed obstacles can jeopardize the success of sustainability projects, but they can be avoided with well-planned procedures. Companies should strive for a holistic approach, identify potential sources of error early on, and take appropriate measures to make the projects successful. Careful planning, clear communication, appropriate resource allocation, and a good change management strategy can help reduce shortcomings and maximize the success of sustainability projects.
