We help our clients develop innovative funding structures and development tools, and leverage our international network to contribute funding, know-how and capabilities to achieve agreed development outcomes in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We serve as independent advisors for impact investment funds to drive more disciplined measurement and active creation of impact, enhancing credibility and preventing exposure to the reputational risk of “green or impact washing”. Clients include a number of private, focused impact fund managers focusing on issues that include sustainable job creation, financial inclusion and affordable healthcare in emerging markets.
We support private clients (including Family Offices, Philanthropists, Foundations, Charitable Trusts) who wish to commit philanthropic and returnable capital toward projects that have deep and measurable environmental and social impact where we provide strategy advisory, research and impact measurement support.
We partner with conscious corporates which include both multinationals who need support to enhance their ‘licence to operate’ through more impactful sustainability approaches in their countries of operation as well as Impact SMEs through advisory on strategy, corporate structures and access to funding.
We partner with international organisations and non profits to provide strategy advisory, governance support, design of innovative financing structures, access to funding, impact measurement and impact communication support.
