Individuals and organisations are encouraged to reduce their climate impact every day. Companies are adapting and using sustainability policies as one way to demonstrate their work towards a sustainable future. The construction industry is one of the industries that affects the environment to a large degree. Within that industry, together with several others, project work is a common practice. Project managers have therefore an important role in making and guiding the projects to be more sustainable. Therefore, this thesis aimed to investigate how project managers in a consulting company experience that they can influence the sustainability work in their projects. A qualitative study was conducted. Background information and theories about corporate sustainability and competence needed to implement sustainability were performed through a literature review. Interviews were conducted with project managers from the consulting company WSP Management in Stockholm Sweden.
