STEP Sustainability Toolkit

The online STEP Sustainability Toolkit features a set of educational tools, which enable businesses to thoughtfully manage their operations while generating immediate return on investment.

Online access costs just $250-$750 annually, depending on the size of your business.

The STEP Sustainability Toolkit includes educational resources for assessment, bench-marking, and sustainability reporting. It also serves as your gateway to eco-certification.

Components include:

Self-Assessment

The Self-Assessment is your introduction to our globally-recognized sustainability standard. Assess yourself in areas like Business Planning, Workplace Practices, Guest Experience, Environmental Management, Supply Chain Management, Ecosystem Preservation, and Community Impacts. Score yourself against numerous best practices to create a customized snapshot of your performance, and gain an immediate understanding of your areas for improvement.

Completion of the self-assessment is also the first step toward STEP Eco-certification!

Project Management Tools

Sustainability management is about action planning, monitoring, and reporting. We’ve included a number of project management tools to help you prepare, plan, and execute sustainability best practices using a secure cloud database. As a result: create your own personalized sustainability management plan.

Benchmarking Tools

The STEP Sustainability Framework includes a number of benchmarking tables to measure and monitor your performance over time.  These tables include energy, waste, and water consumption, eco-friendly purchasing, and a Greenhouse Gas Footprint Tool.

Sustainability Reporting

Create reports that summarize your progress, which can be shared with your team and other stakeholders. Use your self-assessment to understand exactly what needs to be measured. Use your project management tools to remind your team exactly when to measure your impacts. And use your benchmarking tables to report on the results of your impact assessments.
