Portland, Oregon - The Natural Step Network-USA (TNS-USA) has announced a series of workshops to help participants thrive within naturally sustainable systems. The workshops focus on The Natural Step Framework, a proven, science-based method for achieving strategic sustainability.

“Green initiatives are a good start, but not enough,” according to TNS-USA Executive Director, Regina Hauser. “We use a comprehensive framework that helps people develop a vision and strategies for long term sustainability, building on short term successes.”

The Natural Step’s approach addresses the triple bottom line to create a systems view of the problems and their solutions. By integrating the basic principles of sustainability into the visioning process, leaders create more innovative strategies, actions and indicators to achieve real, lasting change.

The Natural Step Framework has been tested and improved over the past 20 years. It is the foundation for sustainable decision making for companies as large as Nike and as small as Hot Lips Pizza. It has also guided the evolution of sustainable cities, sustainable agriculture and the trend toward green buildings.

“Sustainability Using The Natural Step Framework” is an introductory course focusing on the basic principles of sustainability and the backcasting process. “Strategic Sustainability for Leaders” is a more intensive, hands-on examination of the skills and tools needed to elevate sustainable strategies within your organization or community.

The Natural Step Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization headquartered in Portland, Oregon. It is the U.S. affiliate of The Natural Step International. TNS-USA is unique in its ability to integrate science with training and network collaboration, helping people accelerate change toward strategic sustainability.
