Sustainability and transformation partnerships (STPs) are not statutory organisations, and do not have legal status or legal duties.

Each STP footprint is convened by a senior leader who has agreed to chair and lead the meetings on behalf of their peers. Each footprint has agreed to its own governance and representation, and all bodies represented on the STP have agreed to abide by its decision making process.
