Vision
The company has been founded with the vison of expanding the capacity to make research based informed decisions in balancing social inclusion, environmental stewardship & economic prosperity.
Approach
In recent years both private and public sector organizations are rushing to embrace sustainability as the impact of climate change is becoming more evident often without having a clear understanding of sustainability and the relevant metrics. There are multiple international standards and frameworks of sustainability accounting that have been emerging to address the practical issues, although it is often making it difficult for the decision makers to find the relevant and appropriate sustainability measurement frameworks.
There is a significant capacity gap in the regulatory organizations regulating sustainability policies, business organizations seeking the appropriate sustainability management strategies and financial intermediaries identifying the right sustainable asset and transactions to finance.
In this context, we intend to assist private and public sector organization in building capacity and making research-based decision for embracing sustainability.
We recognize that sustainability challenges are multifaceted and multidisciplinary which requires a multidisciplinary and multilateral solution approaches. Hence, we have built our team to represent a multi-disciplinary network of sustainability professionals from Asia, Australia, and Europe with experiences in the private sector, with government agencies and academic institutions.
