Structured for impact

As an employee-owned company that works in countries at all stages of development, we have a triple bottom line of financial, social and environmental accountability. ASI has undergone rigorous independent verification to become a B Corp – certifying that it demonstrates a balance of profit and purpose by meeting the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and legal accountability.

By sharing our knowledge and experience, we can improve learning across the sectors we work in, and we can make an even greater difference to people’s lives.

  • Employee owned

    ASI is owned and operated by its employees, and we are all dedicated to making a meaningful difference in complex, challenging situations.

    We are committed to corporate integrity and a triple bottom line of social, environmental and financial performance.
