The natural step framework guidebook
2000
The TNS Framework is a methodology for success- ful organizational planning, developed by The Nat- ural Step. It enables organizations to create optimal strategies for dealing with the present-day situation, by incorporating a perspective of a sustainable future. Today’s perception of what can be achieved never determines the direction of change, solely its pace. This results in investments and activities that not only move the organization toward sustainabil- ity, but also maximize short-term profitability and long-term flexibility. The TNS Framework has helped many organizations around the world proactively embrace sustainability as a strategic opportunity rather than an unknown liability.
