Who We Are

What’s in Our Name?

Sustenable is a name that reflects both our mission and mindset.

It is formed by combining:

  • SUST – representing sustainability, and
  • ENABLE – representing our role in empowering action and creating conditions for change.

We chose the name Sustenable to express our commitment to advancing sustainability by equipping others — industries, governments, and communities — with the tools, knowledge, and partnerships they need to lead the way.

Sustenable = Empowering Sustainability.
