Nancy Foran, CPA, FCPA, C.Dir.

President and Founder, ESG Partners Inc.

From boardrooms to classrooms, Nancy transforms understanding into action. With her small but mighty team, she has guided 60+ businesses, trained 100+ public servants, 35 directors, and 250+ students in ESG literacy. Her crowning achievement: a first-of-its-kind Indigenous-centred ESG Framework for responsible lending that integrates pre-transaction risk screening, SDG-aligned lending, and internal governance, enabling Indigenous-led organizations to attract diversified capital. Alongside operational impact, her leadership extends to governance influence, serving on advisory boards, facilitating director education modules, and guest lecturing at three universities. Her firm earned EcoVadis Gold (top 5% globally) and 2023 New Business of the Year, proving that rigorous ESG frameworks can scale across sectors while remaining culturally anchored and results-driven.
