The Natural Step Framework

The Natural Step Framework is a guiding approach for organizations and communities aiming for sustainability. It helps them understand and assess their environmental impact by using four key principles: protecting natural resources, promoting equity, enhancing quality of life, and ensuring transparency in decision-making. By integrating these principles, organizations can develop strategies that reduce their ecological footprint and contribute positively to society. Essentially, it offers a structured way to create sustainable practices that balance environmental health, social well-being, and economic viability, ultimately guiding us towards a more sustainable future.
