Potential for learning or transfer
The benefits of the Sustatool are numerous; sustainable entrepreneurship, customized actions and plans, integrating sustainability into business strategy, involve employees and reward initiatives, strengthen your network, get to know other sustainable companies and it is available for free.
With this tool companies/organisations can be helped to think about their impact on society, the climate and the environment and encourage positive action based on the conviction that this also brings economic added value. The Sustatool method has been extensively developed and tested in recent years and is now being disclosed to the general public and specific sectors (Sustabuild, Sustafood, Sustacare, Sustatrade and Sustapulse).
In October 2019, MVO Flanders organised the first Sustatool symposium.
Free Sustatool workshops have been extended because of its success.
For International spread of the tool at least an English version will be required.
