We focus on the core areas where human and planetary health are shaped — and where locally-led action can accelerate real, measurable impact.
Health Equity & Wellbeing
Strengthening the social and structural determinants of health to improve wellbeing and reduce inequities in communities and workforces.
Climate & Resilience
Advancing climate and sustainability strategies that reinforce community resilience, health system continuity, and adaptive capacity in the face of environmental change.
Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
Ensuring reliable access to safe water, sanitation, hygiene, and menstrual health as foundational determinants of health, dignity, and climate resilience.
Gender & Inclusion
Embedding equity, participation, and leadership for women and caregivers across sustainability and health strategies — improving outcomes that strengthen entire communities.
Nutrition & Food Systems
Supporting sustainable and equitable food systems that improve nutrition, reduce disease risk, and build resilience to climate and economic shocks.
Digital & AI-Enabled Primary Health Care
Guiding foundations and corporate sustainability partners in embedding digital and AI-enabled solutions within primary health care ecosystems, aligning health and environmental initiatives for equitable, system-level impact.
Our Mission

Our Vision
A world where environmental and sustainability efforts also deliver healthier, more equitable communities.

Story
Founder Bio
Dr. Tova Tampe, DrPH
Founder & Principal Adviser
Dr. Tova Tampe, DrPH, MPH is a global health and sustainability adviser specializing in integrating health equity into corporate sustainability and ESG strategy. For six years, she served at the World Health Organization in Geneva, where she helped establish the Special Programme on Primary Health Care and led the SDG3 Global Action Plan (PHC Accelerator) to align investments in equitable, community-based service delivery across 13 global agencies.
Tova managed a multi-year, $30M primary health care systems strengthening grant at WHO, coordinating collaboration across headquarters, regional, and country offices in support of national health priorities. She also led strategic alignment efforts with Gavi and the Global Fund to promote equity-focused, community-rooted investment approaches. Her work consistently integrates capacity strengthening, leadership development, and behavior change communication, ensuring solutions are locally-led and sustainable.
Earlier in her career, she secured private-sector partnerships with Colgate-Palmolive and Procter & Gamble to expand WASH, oral health, and community education initiatives in East Africa, and later taught global health and applied health equity research implementation at the George Washington University.
Her approach reflects a core belief: the conditions that allow people to thrive are the same conditions that sustain the planet. She applies systems thinking and regenerative design principles to advance sustainability strategies that support health, dignity, and climate resilience.
She holds a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) in Global Health from the George Washington University and a Master of Public Health (MPH) from Tulane University, as well as a double Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and Psychology from the University of Vermont.
