OUR STORY

What’s in a Name? Our Story Is in Ours

Our story began with our founder’s vision to unify the worlds of finance and sustainability. When Delphine started as a financial controller in 2003, she was inspired by the power of education. She knew that shared knowledge was the missing bridge between these two worlds. So for the next 20 years, brick by brick, she built the bridge.

Through consulting, teaching, inventing, and researching, her vision began to take shape: a convergence of gray corporate finance and green sustainability that benefitted both kinds of professionals and the planet. A common ground where knowledge was accessible and forward progress was possible.

So in 2022, Vert de Gris was born. 

Then, Delphine’s unique approach and unyielding environmental stewardship inspired Michelle Cristy to join the team in 2023. Michelle has been instrumental in scaling our program, bringing marketing expertise, operational savviness, and her own passion for sustainability to our helm. 

Together, we’re driven toward our global mission to participate in a real transition of companies to become more sustainable.
The Why’s Behind Vert de Gris

Every Detail Is Rooted In Our Mission

OUR NAME


Vert de Gris translates to grayish-green, the color that comes from blending gray-suit finance with green-leaf sustainability.

Both hues are crucial to building
a better planet.
