Mission Zero Emission — A Program to Decarbonize Production Sites and the Path to a 

Circular Economy and Management by a PMO

Abstract: The transformation process for a circular economy and the necessary remanufacturing requires a paradigm shift in both strategic and operational management. This means that project management also faces the challenge of dealing with this situation. The first possible approaches were presented and discussed last year. Further work in this direction has been carried out and published. The first practicable methods for merging strategic and operational management to overcome these organizational challenges can now be presented, as well as initial best practice examples, including from a global player for its 138 production sites worldwide, showing how these are to be brought up to NetZero by 2040 with the support of a PMO supported by software created specifically for the monitoring and control process.


Key words: decarbonization and circular economy, contributions of project management, organizational strategy as a spark, use of a PMO for management using the example of a global player, use of specific digital tools, one world, our responsibility
