About Us

The Natural Step Network is an educational non-profit organization. Our programs and services prepare organizations to integrate sustainable business practices into their strategic decision making.

Through our Network, we educate, motivate and connect people, helping them act according to the principles of sustainability.

Our scientifically grounded Principles of Sustainability and Framework have assisted hundreds of organizations and community governments in developing and implementing strategic sustainability programs appropriate to their specific needs.

The Natural Step Framework is a proven methodology. It is neither prescriptive nor proprietary. It is a systems-based approach that will help you explore the broader impact of your activities and to realize how those activities affect our environment, society and economy. Applying the Framework will help your organization develop its own unique vision of sustainability and define the strategies to achieve it internally and throughout your supply chain.

A CONTINUOUS LEARNING ENVIRONMENT:
Unlike universities which offer degrees to individuals, we provide a continuous learning environment to help both individuals and their organizations or communities accelerate progress toward sustainability.

We provide formal learning through a series of focused workshops and webinars. In addition, we support ongoing peer-to-peer through a wealth of online resources and discussions.

Custom programs and facilitation can be provided to help solve your organization’s unique challenges. Contact us for details.

The Natural Step Network will help advance your organization’s commitment to sustainability from the passion of a few to the strategically coordinated actions of many.

The Natural Step Network’s Staff and Board of Directors advocate and integrate the principles of sustainability through their business decisions.
