Why The Natural Step?
Welcome to The Natural Step Academy. The Natural Step has been at the forefront of sustainable development worldwide for over 30 years. We originated in Sweden in the late 1980s and have since been involved in making thousands of organizations in all layers of society more sustainable.
Important parts of our way of working are the transfer of knowledge and the embedding of sustainability in learning organisations. We do this with great passion and with a worldwide network of partners.
For and by professionals
Our training courses are aimed at applying sustainability in daily business operations. For this we bring a lot of experience with us that helps you with the translation into your work.
Learn to apply faster
With the enourmous challenges of our time closing in on us, we have no time to lose. We need to make decisions faster, change faster, learn from things that aren’t going well and help others do the same.
From talking to doing!
We can talk endlessly about what sustainability and quality of life mean exactly, but that ‘knowing’ only serves a purpose if we can convert it into action. We help you learn to do that.
From practice to theory
We are not just an educator in sustainability. The majority of our knowledge is linked to practice. As a result, we are well aware of what works and what does not work and we share this knowledge with you!
Our Team
You are our most important team member. Because only through collaboration can we make a success of this approach. But you can rely on us. See who you can ask for what.

Berend Aanraad
Executive Director | Senior Trainer
I help you connect and translate your ambitions into ‘really doing’ in practice and how you embed that in your organization. I am happy to share my knowledge of developing sustainable organizations with you.

Planning & Organization
I make sure everything runs smoothly. The agendas are planned and coordinated and I make sure that the right things are available at the right time at the right place.
Nobby van Gisbergen
UI, UX and ICT
For me, Interaction / UX Design is largely about simplification, making our tools understandable and therefore pleasant to use. So that your team can move forward quickly.
