CapZone Impact Investments, LLC, the first national Opportunity Zone investment platform, announces its commitment to the Global Resilience Institute’s Corporate Network, as its inaugural partner. The Global Resilience Institute (GRI) at Northeastern University is a university-wide, interdisciplinary institute committed to advancing the security, sustainability, health and well-being of communities and societies around the world. GRI’s mission is to solve the world’s most pressing resilience challenges in all forms, from slowly emerging disruptions to shocks and sudden disasters. “We are honored to be GRI’s first corporate partner as we embed resilience into our investment and business practices nationally at enterprise, community and project levels,” said Al Puchala, CapZone’s Chief Executive Officer. “Correctly building the nation’s first ESG plus Resilience investment ecosystem is our priority. To effectively deploy human, financial and intellectual capital at scale into 8,700 low income Opportunity Zones throughout the nation will require an comprehensive approach, strengthened by our partnership, that will have far reaching effect in multiple sectors, such as affordable housing, sustainable infrastructure and job creating companies,” Puchala added.
