Gender lens investing
For almost a decade, Acumen has been on a journey to embed more equitable investing practices into our work. Poverty is not gender-neutral. We have seen firsthand the social and financial benefits of gender inclusivity.
Climate resilience
The world’s poor are the least responsible for the climate crisis yet the most impacted. Across energy, agriculture, and workforce, building climate resilience is a priority in our solutions.
Together, we can build a world based on dignity.
