# Is the CSPP Right for You?

Grounded in the globally recognized P5™ Standard and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, CSPP is built for professionals responsible for turning sustainability priorities into resilient, real-world project outcomes.

## Why the need for CSPP?

- **42-point confidence gap**  
  Sustainability executives believe their organizations can meet their goals, but PMO leaders lack confidence in delivery—the gap is the right knowledge.

- **59% integration gap**  
  Most organizations haven’t fully embedded sustainability across projects and functions and they’re actively seeking professionals who can.

- **1 in 5 Project Professionals**  
  Only 20% can confidently deliver sustainability outcomes today. CSPP helps you become one of them.
