UNGCNS evaluates each application to access its readiness, scope, and suitability for the S-TAP programme.
Eligible members are matched with 1-2 S-TAP advisors based on their industry experience and specific sustainability goals.
A structured introductory meeting is conducted to align on objectives, define the scope, and establish clear guidelines for the engagement.
Members participate in monthly advisory sessions over a period of 3 to 6 months, receiving practical guidance and actionable recommendations.
At the conclusion of the engagement, a final session is held to review outcomes, accompanied by a written summary to facilitate ongoing implementation.
