The mission of The Natural Step is to accelerate global sustainability by guiding companies and local governments onto an ecologically, socially and economically sustainable path. An international organization, we use a set of scientific principles to transform debate into useful discussion and to drive innovation.

The Natural Step was founded in Sweden in 1989 and expanded to the U.S. in 1995. Thanks to funding from the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation, TNS is now working with executives at leading companies such as The Home Depot, Starbucks, McDonald's and Nike, as well as such communities as Whistler, British Columbia to help them understand and implement sustainable practices in their daily operations..
