Living Sustainable Business Framework Approach: Practitioner Toolkit

The Practitioner Toolkit (13 templates) takes the Living Sustainable Business Framework Approach from the page into the room. Each template is built around questions, evidence, ownership and decisions, so teams can work through real issues in their own organisation.
Start with Template A, the Framework Canvas. It gives a one-page view of how your organisation understands sustainability, creates value, makes strategic choices, acts, measures progress and learns. Templates B to M feed into it. Support is provided in the Masterclass.

Thank you very much for the excellent expert  & practical assistance you have provided us through your guidance program. For me the webinars came at an opportune time since we were just launching our ESG and Sustainability Program. I learnt a lot and am now more confident to engage with business about the sustainability / ESG matters. We  welcome the opportunity to join the ISD community & partake in future collaborations.
