Building our team family

The heart of SAGE has always been our people. In the early years, team building was a journey of exploration. We were fortunate to be supported by former colleagues who stepped in to advise on HR, accounts, and operations simply because they believed in what we were creating.

Through trusted references, we welcomed Abija, Manju, and Sowmithri, who became pillars of SAGE. What defined them was not only competence but the care and ownership they brought to every project. Our bonds were strengthened in the toughest moments such as tight deadlines, complex deliverables, and high expectations. These were the times we realised we were more than professionals working together. We had become a team bound by a shared purpose.

Projects that shaped us

Our work has always been rooted in the conviction that sustainability must be credible, contextual, and co-created. We do whatever it takes, to ensure that the world is a sustainable place.

With Hero Moto Corp, we contributed to materiality analysis, supply chain guidance, GRI reporting, climate risk frameworks, and stakeholder engagement. Their commitment was clear: they sought co-creators, not just consultants.

With Sanmaan Exports and ReWrap, we co-developed a five-pillar sustainability framework and their B Corp certification. This framework wove together traceability, responsible sourcing, ethical conduct, inclusive workplaces, support for artisans, and environmental responsibility.

With the Public Affairs Centre, we developed a bespoke sustainability implementation tool and dashboard. By working closely with stakeholders, we helped align programme goals with long-term impact pathways.

With the Indian Texpreneurs Federation, we designed the “India for Sure” campaign, highlighting entrepreneurs integrating sustainability into their businesses. This positioned Indian textile leaders as responsible global players.

With each of our clients, whether it was EcoVadis Assessment, or Product Carbon Footprinting, we are diligent and attentive, and show up joyfully for our clients.

Client voices

Subject matter expert with no compromise on delivery of content, richness, and gravity. To the point and straightforward approach.”

SAGE Sustainability made the EcoVadis assessment process easy to understand and provided practical steps to improve our practices.”

Innovation: The Green auditing tool

Our Green Auditing Tool was born from work with the Public Affairs Centre. It combined operational data with an assessment of institutional intent. The tool measured energy, water, waste, people, and culture. It offered practical action, offering civil society organisations a structured way to embed sustainability.

What defines us

SAGE is defined by moments where learning turns into ownership and metrics gain meaning. From celebrating Hero MotoCorp’s Sustainability Excellence Award, to supporting Sanmaan’s B Corp certification that reflected dignity for women artisans, to guiding Mu Sigma towards EcoVadis Bronze, every project reminds us that sustainability is not a service. It is a relationship built on trust, rigour, and conviction.
