Sustina is a women-led, nonprofit impact organization focused on sustainability. We are a team of strategists and storytellers based in the Philippines who believe there’s no story to tell without real impact. We publish news and insights that clarify what others aim to confuse.

About Us

Our mission is to democratize sustainability intelligence. Sustina is an interdisciplinary workroom where sustainability strategists and editors work side by side, navigating a landscape rampant with greenwashing and ESG-washing.

Through media coverage, strategic consulting, and capability-building programs, we help organizations and professionals drive authentic, measurable change.

Our Services

Our partners work with us to design or measure sustainable outcomes, and then tell their story. All our work is built on an adaptive sustainability framework that prioritizes inclusivity and localized solutions while informed by global best practices. Our approach connects strategy to execution to communication, creating sustained transformation rather than isolated interventions. Download our full list of services here. We also run Circulo, our dedicated circular economy arm.

Our Commitment

Our 1:1 model means that whenever we are engaged by a corporate entity for our strategy services, we provide the equivalent service to a non-profit or advocacy group, free of charge.
Although we believe that the for-profit sector must be involved in advancing sustainable development, we do not engage companies whose operations do not align with our mission (including, but not limited to, companies that work in weapons and firearms, tobacco and vaping, or fossil fuel extraction). We also screen companies qualitatively based on sensitive or unethical practices. We do not service organizations, even if they score highly in ESG, if they present ethical compromises.
