Welcome to the Varda Group

The Varda Group is made up of people who have dedicated their lives to protecting the health and well-being of our planet and its inhabitants. After many years of working for international organizations, we established Varda in 2003. We do everything from coordinating campaigns to providing strategic advice and expertise across a wide range of environmental and social issues. Consultancy services are provided by Varda BV (The Netherlands), Varda Desarrollo Sostenible SL (Spain), and Varda Ltd (UK).
