Our Advisory Services
FSG helps corporations design social impact strategies that shape inclusive markets in Asia and improve the lives of stakeholders while creating value for shareholders. We also partner with funders and nonprofits to develop and evaluate strategies that advance their missions in Asia. Through our strategy and evaluation practices, we assist organizations with their learning priorities.
We believe reimagining business can drive meaningful and sustainable social change in Asia. Enterprises are facing growing demand from investors and consumers to move beyond traditional capitalism and embrace stakeholder capitalism. “Doing good” and ensuring profitability of “business” are no longer disparate goals. Purpose-led corporations have displayed the benefits of “doing good business.” Our customized solutions blend research, strategy, learning, and evaluation to help enterprises drive with a purpose. We serve as strategic advisors to corporations, developing inclusive business models that work at scale to not only create social impact but also give businesses a competitive advantage.
FSG also partners with private foundations, community foundations, and family foundations to create social change in Asia. We have advised the world’s most prominent philanthropic organizations on how best to deploy their resources to improve the lives of those who face the greatest barriers to economic security in countries across Asia.
