2021 marks the beginning of the UN Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, a call forcommitment and action for the protection and revival of ecosystems all around theworld. With healthy ecosystems, we can meet the goals that benefit the people’ssurvival, well-being, livelihood, and climate resilience.
We believe that an equitable and sustainable world can be achieved if our personal valuesare aligned to the greater good; that our individual potential is optimized to be a conduit fortransformation; that everyone is enabled, regardless of background, heritage orlocation, to have equal opportunities to evolve and actualize; all our resources, includingcapital, are deployed purposefully in projects and people where they can create the greatestpositive impact; where holistic systems accelerating change are designed, built andsupported and scaled; and we act as a collective family of humanity leaving no onebehind.
We believe that activating and channeling higher purpose-driven capital for business forcollective impact-driven enterprises is the way forward to create this new world. In themanifestation of this vision, impact investment and regenerative finance has a central role toplay.
