The Framework provides a step-by-step guide on how corporates can engage in open innovation and reach effective solutions. It is divided into 4 key phases – challenge definition, scoping, engagement, and collaboration – each of which are broken down further into 8 levels with associated actions.

The hope is this will stimulate the built environment sector to bring sustainable innovations to market and help tackle the climate crisis.
