The concept of ‘Performance’ is one of the most used words, both in the academic and professional spheres, due to its importance in all fields. In addition to its very high frequency of use, its definition is polysemous. This paper aims to focus on the surrounding of the performance, by listing several definitions and tracing its evolution over time. This paper also proposes the treatment of performance in all its facets, from the financial one to the global and sustainable one, and by highlighting the complementary aspect of the different approaches of treatment of this concept. To do this, we were interested in articles and books referenced in the Scopus, Cairn, Electre and Google Scholar databases, and we selected the scientific production between 1960 and 2020, which deals with either the definition or the link between the concepts ‘Performance’, ‘CSR’, ‘CSP’ and ‘Sustainable Development’, to synthesize them in this article following a chronological and logical order. This article is intended as a synthetic guide for any researcher or professional interested in the concept of performance, since it traces its evolution and its ramifications through the highlighting of the complementarity and the relevant use of this concept.

The construction industry plays a crucial role in the economic and social development of every country However, the construction sector uses 36% of total energy, 30% of raw materials, 39% of energy-related CO2 emissions, and 35% of solid waste production. In fact, the emergence of sustainable development has been accompanied by a profusion of research dealing with the impact of the integration of sustainability on managerial practices. In Morocco, the orientation to sustainable construction implies an evolution of construction project management practices to not only ensure that projects meet time, cost, and technical quality requirements, but also to guarantee that the construction project is sustainable. This paper aims to study the sustainable project management practices developed within Moroccan companies. For this purpose, the authors have used secondary data and activity reports from seven Moroccan companies in the construction sector. The results of this study show that the seven companies adopt very heterogeneous practices, ranging from continuous actions to specific actions

Considering the weight of SMEs on an international scale, mainly in times of crisis, entrepreneurship becomes an important factor for achieving economic and social development that meets the demands of society. However, entrepreneurship requires motivations and implies objectives, and especially a financial performance, which will play the role of vector for entrepreneurship, and by extension for socio-economic development. In other words, it is about connecting 3 concepts: Financial performance, entrepreneurship, and socio-economic development. For that, this paper will first focus on the motivations and objectives of entrepreneurs, before developing in detail the concept of financial performance, its evolution to the sustainable development, as well as its importance in the entrepreneurial environment, as vector and objective.
