Akina
Aotearoa New Zealand's Leading Impact Developers
At Ākina we're working to build an economy that measures and values the powerful potential of enterprises and businesses to deliver positive change for our people and our environment.
This change is called impact. The positive impact of enterprises, businesses and government can help address challenges like poverty, inequality, waste management, biodiversity loss and climate change.
We offer a wide range of tailored impact consulting, social procurement and impact investment advisory, and capability building services. We're also working with the Government to create the conditions for a thriving social enterprise sector, into the future.
Be bold. Ākina mai. Ākina atu. (Challenge yourself. Challenge others)
