AASAN IMPACT

Strategic Partnerships
& Innovative Alliances

Many of todays societal, environmental, and business challenges are so complex that they can only be tackled by working together. Businesses have a unique opportunity to create impact at scale by designing strategic partnerships for growth. 

With shared values and a purpose-driven mindset as a foundation, Aasan Impact focuses on designing partnerships in 3 areas:

Pro-competitive partnerships


Pro-competitive partnerships are partnerships with businesses formally thought of as competitors. Pro-competitive strategic alliances, when well aligned, have the potential to expand product and service offerings and increase market share. They help generate innovation on a large scale.

In this type of partnership, organizations bring together their unique capabilities, intellectual property, services, and/or products to develop a differentiated and specialized solution to target customer needs. The partners share a similar target customer and can capture greater market value faster than traditional product development approaches. 

Aasan Impact conducts an industry scan, crafts pro-competitive partnership strategies, and brings together industry allies to generate economic growth for social and environmental impact.

Government Partnerships, Grants & Incentives


Municipal, provincial and federal governments are pledging support to sustainable practices such as climate action, energy conservation, and carbon reduction. Around the world, governments are calling on businesses to lead the charge and pledge to reach net zero by 2050 or sooner. Upfront investment costs can hinder an organization’s ability to improve business operations and reduce carbon footprint. Aasan Impact works with organizations to navigate government grants and incentives. We are committed to making impact easy.

Not-for-profit Collaborations


Leveraging our purpose and values match, Aasan Impact brings purpose to life by connecting your employees’ purpose to your organization’s purpose through your support for a not-for-profit organization. Using the UN SDGs as a baseline, we work with your team to identify causes that match your organization’s higher purpose. Galvanizing support for a cause is what gets people up in the morning, it’s what unites us to work together for something bigger, it inspires action and innovation, it’s what makes us human. At Aasan Impact, our purpose is to unleash the humanity of business by maximizing your return on social investment.

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.
