Driving global impact by bringing sustainability to every industry and every step of progress
Having a standard is not enough–its practice must remain truly sustainable so that we, and future generations can live peacefully.
Our Purpose
Global Sustainability Impact Foundation (GSIF) is established to develop credible, research-led sustainability standards across industries. Our purpose is to bring the global sustainability research community together to transform scientific knowledge into practical, implementable standards that help industries operate responsibly, build long-term resilience, and create shared value.
By connecting researchers, markets, producers, and consumers through structured frameworks, GSIF works to provide the world with clear solutions on how industries can sustainably align growth, responsibility, and future readiness.
Global Sustainability Impact Foundation (GSIF) operates at the intersection of research, governance, and market implementation. Beyond standard development, GSIF focuses on building transparent systems that enable industries to measure, verify, and continuously improve their sustainability performance. By fostering collaboration between researchers, institutions, and market participants, GSIF ensures that sustainability standards evolve with science, regional realities, and emerging global risks making them relevant, adaptable, and trusted across borders.
Our Vision
The vision of Global Sustainability Impact Foundation (GSIF) is to become a globally trusted institution that unites the sustainability research community and sets credible, research-led standards for every industry. We envision a world where sustainability is not an obligation, but an integrated operating framework enabling industries to grow responsibly, markets to function with trust, and societies to thrive within planetary boundaries.
Our Mission
Our mission is to design and promote credible, scientific, and practical sustainability frameworks that can be implemented at the ground level. Through research, education, and collaboration, we empower farmers, institutions, and organizations to adopt sustainable practices that are realistic, scalable, and beneficial for people, planet, and prosperity.
Sustainable Agriculture Standard (SAS)
SAS (Sustainable Agriculture Standard) is a voluntary sustainability standard developed by Global Sustainability Impact Foundation (GSIF) to translate sustainability research into practical, field level implementation. SAS is designed to create measurable improvements in farming practices while strengthening trust across supply chains. Built through structured research, expert consultation, and on-ground insights, SAS provides a clear framework that supports farmer welfare, responsible production, and market confidence. By aligning scientific knowledge with real-world conditions, SAS enables agriculture stakeholders to participate in sustainable trade through transparent, credible, and continuously evolving standards.
