Who we are

Our Unique Approach


Transitioning to a purpose & profit-driven mindset requires authenticity and boldness.

At the cornerstone of Aasan Impact’s work are sustainable solutions to real world social, environmental and economic challenges. We partner with businesses to distill opportunities that create profitable social impact.

In an era of deep personal reckoning, Aasan Impact works with organizations to reduce the “purpose gap” that exists between public perceptions, business activities, and employees’ desires for meaningful work.

Embedding sustainability into strategy, we drive impact by incorporating principles of economic prosperity, social justice and environmental protection into organizational DNA.

Aasan Impact provides a holistic approach to sustainability transformation. Building on a foundation of purpose-driven leadership, we align employees, industry partners, government support, and not-for-profit causes to create impact at scale.

Why Climate Action? What’s the urgency?

It is safe to say that climate change is a reality. The last 18 to 20 years have been the hottest on record. 2020 was the hottest year on record despite Covid-19 lockdowns.

Without additional commitments to decarbonization, the planet is on track for 3.2 degrees of warming. This is also linked to an increased likelihood of pandemics, extreme weather events, droughts, flooding and widespread destabilization of global food, economic and security systems. Emissions need to be reduced by 50% to get to 1.5 degrees by 2030 to get this under control. Left unchecked, global warming will undo gains made to the UN SDGs including poverty alleviation, hunger, good health and well-being. It will undo economic recovery.

Now is the time to take action.
