Veriterra 

Welcome

The name ‘Veriterra’ originates from the combination of the Latin words ‘veritas’ (truth) and ‘terra’ (earth).

In essence, the ability to understand the natural systems that make life on earth possible, also known as ecoliteracy, provides us with a framework that guides our design and decision-making.

Beyond ‘Sustainable’

To develop a ‘sustainable’ project is easy.

Just follow the guidelines of the SDG’s, or what the sector has established; for example,  Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system for new constructions.

In may cases, the scope of the definition is limited, and/or the context is not considered, and this can lead a limited green impact, and in some cases, ‘greenwashing’.

We go beyond ‘Sustainable’.

We actually aim to understand the context in which we are working, and apply systems thinking, the blue economy and circular economy principles, regenerative agriculture, and other tools so that a holistic solution can emerge, not constrained by industry guidelines (these are often already satisfied).

We believe that solutions to the poly-crisis we are facing today requires us to take a step back, observe, connect, listen and understand, before deep transformation can bring forth solutions.

The result is a great learning curve for all involved, often including fun, resulting in a deeper understanding of our impact.
