Our Roots

Vertiver Sustainability Foundation (VSF) was founded in response to the need for accelerated action on sustainability through deeper public participation and partnerships in India. The team behind VSF, a group of environmentalists, communication strategists, and nature scientists has been working internationally and nationally on various issues of sustainability for the past fifteen years. VSF is affiliated with Vertiver Creative Agency and Iora Ecological Solutions, two leading sustainability firms in India that work extensively on forestry, biodiversity, climate change, sustainable agriculture, water resource management and waste management.

Our Approach

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ACTION
The sustainability sector has done itself a disservice by constantly inventing new jargon for simple action. This has led to redundancies and pervasive confusion in the minds of people with regard to identifying and acting on the most effective intervention. We research and curate relevant and practical knowledge that equips stakeholders to act swiftly and effectively to address sustainability issues. Applying tools of participatory and action research we aim to generate new knowledge that enables innovative intervention design and execution.
