About STOworx
STOworx Was Built By Industrial Professionals. Not Just Software Developers.
STOworx is a turnaround and shutdown management platform developed by Sustainable Elements, a Canadian company focused on helping industrial organizations improve visibility, accountability, readiness, and operational performance.
For more than 15 years, Sustainable Elements has worked alongside refinery operators, maintenance teams, environmental professionals, planners, schedulers, and operational leaders to solve the challenges that spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems struggle to manage.
The result is STOworx: a connected platform designed around how turnaround teams actually plan, prepare, execute, and close out major events.
Who We Are
A Canadian Company Built For Industrial Operations
Founded in 2008, we work with industrial organizations both in Canada and internationally to solve operational challenges that traditional software often ignores.
Our solutions have been developed alongside refinery operators, environmental professionals, turnaround teams, maintenance organizations, and operational leaders.
We believe technology should support the people doing the work, not force organizations to adapt to software limitations.
What Sets Us Apart

We focus on solving operational problems, not chasing technology trends.
One Connected Platform
Our solutions share a common foundation that allows organizations to expand capabilities without introducing disconnected systems.
Our Philosophy
Technology Should Support Operations
Industrial organizations generate enormous amounts of information.
The problem is rarely a lack of data.
The problem is making information visible, actionable, and accessible to the people who need it.
Our approach is simple:
- Understand the workflow
- Understand the operational risk
- Build practical solutions
- Improve visibility
- Reduce unnecessary effort
- Preserve organizational knowledge
Technology should make work easier.
Not more complicated.

Our Approach
We Believe Operational Knowledge Matters
Many software vendors start with technology and search for problems.
We start with operational problems and build technology to solve them.
That philosophy influences every solution we develop.
Whether supporting a turnaround, environmental compliance program, maintenance organization, or operational workflow, our focus remains the same:
We help organizations work smarter without adding unnecessary complexity.
