Welcome to the Sustainability Shaper

The Sustainability Shaper (the Sustainable Development Framework for the South West of England) is an evolving tool for everyone in the region who wants to unlock the benefits of sustainability - from public agencies and voluntary organisations to businesses and individuals.

The Sustainability Shaper includes:

• the South West's sustainability Mission & Principles and Action Frameworks setting out our sustainability priorities
• resources for a range of people and activities (including sustainability guidance for the delivery of the 'Integrated Regional Strategy')

Where do I start?
To find resources for you, select a coloured tab from the top of the page or a shortcut from ‘Are you…?’ below. Don't forget to check out the Shaper modules (left) including our selection of case studies in 'Shaper Stories'.

If you’re new to the regional picture and the South West's sustainability challenges (or for background info) try the blue buttons on the left.
