Testimonials

The Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development is used worldwide and has been proven effective across diverse contexts.

Today, it supports a global network of organizations through a dynamic exchange of research and development, learning, and knowledge management. This network fosters client support and encourages the open sharing of insights beyond its own boundaries. Stepwise Global ensures the integrity of knowledge and upholds quality standards.

“FSSD has managed, like few others, to develop an operational model, which can be applied within business, so one can go from knowledge to solution. And that bridge is exactly what is needed.”

Johan Rockström

Professor | Stockholm Resilience Center

 

“The move of guiding AI with the FSSD code should be very important, as the global civilization relies more and more on AI for broad decision making and economic guidance. The FSSD is an excellent organizational tool to reside at the center of the AI contribution to sustainable development.”

Terrence Collins

Professor in Green Chemistry | Carnegie Mellon University

“The FSSD is the basis for Polarbrödsgruppen’s sustainability work. Thanks to this we have been able to take proactive and strategic decisions that have been very beneficial for our company.”

Karin Bodin

CEO | Polarbröd
