Our ESG Focus
We built Acansa because we understand how the effective application of capital can create long-term positive impacts for asset owners and for the world. We see the challenges facing our planet, our societies, and their institutions. Helping our clients mobilize their capital to achieve ESG and DEI goals in concert with their financial objectives is how we can be of greatest service to you and to future generations.
Our Services
Our client institutions each come with unique histories, internal resources, and requirements. We work with each to determine what is working for them, what is not, and what their ideal solution would include. Then we build that – and through continuing dialogue, adapt our services as our client’s needs change over time.
