Who We Are V2
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.
