STS Plan
The planning component of STS
STS Plan is the ultimate enterprise sustainability guide.
It shows you stage-by-stage and step-by-step how to transform your sustainability footprint by:
Providing context as to why you should act, STS Plan describes the backdrop to unsustainable development and highlights the core responsible business conduct requirements and principles that all enterprises are obliged to satisfy under internationally-agreed frameworks and instruments. This information, together with the wide selection of enterprise sustainability initiative ideas contained within STS Plan, can help you identify your first set of ESG priorities and to frame your business case for sustainability.
STS Plan also explores a number of key international sustainability and ESG reporting initiatives, frameworks and standards which can help you scope your sustainability programme and/or tailor your sustainability or ESG report for different stakeholders according to their needs and wants.

Purchase STS PlanInteractive design for flexible use
Purposefully designed as an interactive, online guide, STS Plan has been developed to support multiple use cases. With just under 800 pages of enterprise-centric sustainability information, it can be read cover to cover, section by section or topic by topic. Additionally, with its wealth of information, it can be used as a reference for specific questions on sustainability and ESG reporting.
It also comes with an extensive selection of support materials. To avail of the full STS experience, we recommend using STS Plan in conjunction with STS Implement (coming soon). Alternatively, it can be used as a standalone guide by those who already have their own sustainability impact and performance management toolsets.
Section 1: Transformation
Section one is for those who want to dive straight in to sustainability transformation delivery and/or for those who want to assess and cost the level of effort involved.
Using our 5 stage, 10 step, cyclical delivery model as a roadmap, we show you in section one how to lay the foundations for sustainability within your organization so that you have the governance, management and support structures in place to effect full-scale transformation and/or to continually deliver and report on individual or multiple sustainability initiatives on an ongoing, incremental or phased basis.
In addition, we provide a comprehensive set of materials consisting of practical templates, examples and worksheets to further guide and support you through every stage and step of your sustainability transformation journey.
Section 2: Sustainable development and responsible business conduct (RBC)
Moving to a Circular Economy
In section two we tell you why you need to act and answer questions you were afraid to ask on sustainable development and responsible business conduct.
What is sustainable development? What is RBC? What is meant by climate change, biodiversity, human rights, etc.? What are your obligations under international and national law? How can you satisfy your stakeholders? Why are you being held accountable for the actions of your suppliers? How can you ensure your suppliers are not engaged in unethical or illegal behaviour?
In addition to answering the ‘what’ and the ‘why’, section two also answers the ‘how’, by providing a wide range of initiative ideas that your enterprise can put in place to improve your impact.

Section 3: Reporting and disclosure
In section three, we introduce you to a wide range of international sustainability and ESG initiatives and reporting standards and frameworks which will help you report in an informative, professional and compelling way.
As transparent and effective reporting is essential to avoid greenwashing, non-compliance and the loss of customers and key stakeholders, we recommend reporting in accordance with one or more international frameworks or standards such as the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), GRI Standards or the IFRS Foundation’s International Integrated Reporting Framework. This will not only ensure your stakeholders have access to the information that is important to them, it will also help prepare your enterprise for any future legislative reporting requirements that may come your way, either directly or indirectly via key customers who are legally required to report on their value chain.
