Tools

The STS 2030 toolbox is the toolbox for achieving the STS 2030 Targets and is intended to enable the committed actors to implement the measures to achieve the Targets through a range of offers. It is made up of tools and events and is a living instrument that is constantly being further developed.

The tools only list support options that are geared towards the measures for achieving the STS 2030 Targets. The tools only offer a selection from the huge range of support options. However, the responsibility for implementation remains with the companies.

The roadmap shows the timeline for implementing the measures and serves as the basis for using the tools. Various introductory consultations are offered to get you started in the respective subject area (filter options). Use the roadmap and the filter function to find the right support offer.
