About Institute

Sustainability Institute connects the agenda of organisation development to sustainability. Founded by Sequoia in January 2008, Sustainability Institute extends the Sequoia Story™ and represents Sequoia Group’s commitment to build sustainable long-term capacities in individuals and organisations. As the story goes, sequoia trees are nature’s reminder to provide sustaining structures that future generations can count on. It is also a systems thinking story about the importance of thinking long-term and caring for the consequences of our actions beyond the length of our own tenure.

Over the past two decades, methodologies and practices in strengthbased approaches such as Appreciative Inquiry, Theory-U and organizational learning disciplines such as Systems Thinking have greatly enhanced the impact and effectiveness of sustainability efforts.

Since 2008, we have been providing a comprehensive suite of capacitybuilding programmes tailored for individuals, organisations and the society leveraging on these innovative theories, tools and methodologies. You will learn through our programmes that sustainability is beyond going green. It involves leading, learning and living in ways that are both sensible and innovative - socially, economically and environmentally.

Our unique and proprietary WISE™ framework for sustainability provides a compass for organisations who are committed to building an agenda for sustainability from the inside out. We help our client systems realise their full potentials and enable them to evolve their corporate citizenship by Doing Good and Doing Well.
