“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.” - Psalm 24:1 (NLT)

Why?

“The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it.” Genesis 2:15 (NLT)

God gave human beings the responsibility (stewardship) of protecting, cherishing and nurturing this Earth and all its creatures. However, by giving more significance to profit and largely failing to focus on people and the planet, we have not fulfilled our obligations to this gift, thereby creating an imbalance on this Earth.

And the recurring effects of this imbalance is seen around us – whether it is the increasing number of natural disasters, or the increasing poverty and homelessness, or global warming, or even diseases such as Covid-19. It is time for us to self-reflect, revive & recover, and Triquetrus aims to be a catalyst to drive this transformation and renewal.

The Latin word “Triquetrus” means “three-cornered” which here signifies the Three Pillars of Sustainability i.e. the social, environmental and economic pillars or in the words of the triple bottom line accounting framework – “the social equity bottom line (people), the environmental bottom line (planet), and the economic bottom line (profit).” Triquetrus is the Latin base of the word “Triquetra”.

“Initiatives” means the ability to assess and initiate things independently and an act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or to improve a situation.

Our Approach
