In July 2022, Fasanara signed and adopted the Women Empowerment Principles (WEPs) joining a network of five thousand business leaders. The WEPs are a set of principles jointly established by UN Global Impact and UN Women that encourage businesses to advance the progress of gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace and the whole community.

Living Wage Employer

In February 2024, Fasanara became an accredited Living Wage Employer joining the movement of over 14,000 responsible employers across the UK who voluntarily commit to go further than the government minimum to make sure all their staff earn enough to live on.

Charity Share Class

Several Fasanara lending funds offer “charity share classes” designed to deliver returns that extend beyond financial gains, providing investors with the opportunity to contribute to meaningful philanthropic initiatives.

Specifically, investors in a charity share class donate a percentage of their returns to environmental and social charities carefully vetted by Fasanara. Fasanara, in turn, matches each investor’s donation with the same percentage of its fees from the corresponding share class, thereby amplifying the impact of each contribution.
