What it's for

PESTLE is a checklist for scanning the world outside your organisation: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental factors. Add the factors that affect your market or supply chain, say whether each is a risk or an opportunity, and rate how much it matters. The builder then shows you where the pressure points — and the openings — really are.

What are you analysing?

Add a factor

Political — government policy, trade deals, tariffs, public spending, stability.

Economic — inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, energy and labour costs.

Social — skills shortages, population changes, attitudes, working patterns.

Technological — automation, AI, e-procurement, cyber security.

Legal — procurement rules, employment law, modern slavery, data protection.

Environmental — net zero targets, carbon reporting, extreme weather, waste.
