Abstract

Social responsibility of enterprises defines the organization’s responsibility for sustainable development, includes obligations to ensure not only the continuity of its operation, but also activities to protect the natural environment, eliminate or reduce social inequalities, including extreme poverty or attention to local economic development. Taking project management into consideration, the authors believe that projects, as the main instruments of organizational development, should take into account elements of sustainable development regarding the way of organizing work, planning its execution, partial products, and final results. In this approach, it is worth emphasizing that responsibility for the area of sustainable development should be perceived as a natural element of the project scope, and taking responsibility for this area should become a customary element of management processes in project implementation, included not only in bottom-up decision-making processes but also in their methodological support. According to the authors, it is also worth clarifying the concepts of social responsibility of projects and sustainable project management. This article is devoted to the analysis of these issues.
