The public concerns related to businesses’ economic, social and environmental impacts have generated a risky environment for investments, and this regard, there is a recognition of the importance of socially responsible activities in order to embrace the stakeholders’ requirements for sustainable development while achieving business success. Thus, companies have encompassed the concept at strategic and operational levels, however a gap exists in the Project Management field that could be bridged by including the practical tools to align the Project with CSR strategy. The research has constructed a model at the project level regarding the embracement of ISO 26000 as a standard CSR framework in order to align projects’ objectives with CSR strategy, attempting societal well-being whilst achieving project success and contributing to improve a firm’s value. Thus, the ethical obligation to be socially responsible regarding projects outcomes and deliverables, results in encompassing a stakeholder-oriented model of project governance, by being considerate of good governance, that will underpin and integrate CSR’s six core topics, proposed by the standard, within transparency, accountability, responsibility and fairness principles. In this way, the fundamental overseeing function of project governance is extended and used as a tool to align project objectives with CSR strategy and to incorporate CSR’s topics. Furthermore, the application of the CSR framework into the project environment and the evaluation of three specific cases studies in Peru, provide the grounds to support the Green Project Management claims of embracing future generations as project stakeholders, and in this regard, bringing some insights about the positive effects of key stakeholder (such as local communities, government representatives and other special interest groups) involvement into project governance and the mechanisms that could be applied. In this way, the requirements of future generations for sustainable development becomes a requirement for the project that could be addressed by providing with them the opportunity to participate in the project’s decision-making processes and it will support a stakeholder-oriented model of good project governance as a tool to align projects with socially responsible business practices aiming for individuals and organizations’ well-being and sustainable development.
