Our commitment to equity

We recognize the inextricable structural linkages between climate and environmental inequities, and gender, race, and other social and economic determinants. In line with our mission to seed and scale climate-positive solutions, we seek to intentionally integrate equity in our business practices, both through our internal practices (Our Culture) and our work with clients (Our Work). We are committed to ensuring that at a minimum, our actions do not exacerbate existing disparities.

Hua Nani Partners aims to integrate equity and justice in our policy, strategy, and advisory services. We seek opportunities to work with our clients and colleagues that will advance equitable and anti-racist climate solutions, ultimately helping to erode existing disparities.

Our Culture

We strive to foster a diverse, inclusive, equitable, and anti-racist work environment where all individuals are empowered to express themselves and feel supported personally and professionally. We also recognize the need to uplift historically marginalized identities and perspectives in our work environment.

We support this through fair and transparent practices and policies, including internal policies that cultivate employee wellness and growth, flexible work hours, paid personal and family leave, quality benefits, and opportunities for continued staff learning and development.

Our Work

The Equity In/Equity Out model is adapted from Elemental Excelerator’s framework. We are grateful for their work to develop and share this framework, and the inspiration it has provided as we have defined what equity means to us at Hua Nani Partners.
