A culture of sustainability is one in which organizational members hold shared assumptions and beliefs about what sustainability means for their organization, where they are in relation to that, and what they are doing to bridge that gap.
Join us on November 3 to learn more about Embedding Sustainability into the Culture of Municipal Government.
Over the past year The Natural Step Canada, in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Bertels of Simon Fraser University, conducted research on the activities municipal governments are working on to embed sustainability into their organizational culture. Our team has worked with municipalities from across the country to tailor the approach to the municipal context and distil lessons learned about implementation on the ground in municipalities from across the country.
The Natural Step Canada is excited to be leading a workship at Earth Day Canada’s EcoMentors Youth Conference on November 5th in Ottawa, ON.
Earth Day Canada's EcoMentors program and the Sierra Youth Coalition are teaming up to bring together youth (ages 15 to 24) who care about our planet for an awesome, FREE, one-day conference in Ottawa!
Join us for a one day, interactive workshop to explore leading research and practice in creating a culture of sustainability in municipal organizations.
This program is based on the portfolio approach to embedding sustainability in organizational culture, developed by Dr. Stephanie Bertels and her research team at Simon Fraser University. This approach was published by the Network for Business Sustainability in 2010, and is quickly gaining traction in the business community.
Behind every successful endeavor, there is a well-planned process. And like every other initiative your organization will undertake, from supply chain processes to marketing efforts, good sustainability practices require good planning, a powerful message and skills to create motivated teams to effect change.
Sustainability champions, we've listened to you. Join us for our 2011 webinar series - interact with six amazing and motivational leaders in the industry. You will learn from their successes (and failures) on topics like powerful messaging tactics, community transformation catalysts and ways to build group commitment and energy.
The Natural Step Canada is proud to support the Canadian Business for Social Responsibility (CBSR) and their upcoming webinar on CSR reflections.

The sustainability challenges facing Canadian communities and neighbourhoods are unprecedented: urban sprawl, growth in major city centres, shrinking populations in rural communities, greenhouse gas emissions, falling incomes of immigrant families, summer water shortages, declining participation rates in elections, increased air and water pollution, increased health impacts, waste management issues, and a widening gap between wealthy and poor families all present serious risks to quality of life both today and in the future.
