Sasha Koo-Oshima Joins Sustainability Frameworks, LLP
Sustainability Frameworks is proud to welcome Sasha Koo Oshima as a new partner. Koo Oshima brings to the firm an exceptional record of international scientific policy and business development leadership spanning agri-environment, health, energy, and natural resource management.
Most recently, Koo Oshima served as Deputy Director with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization and as International Water Lead with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where she led global engagements and program development on sustainable agriculture and healthy food systems. In these roles, she operationalized strategies in environmental and social governance through innovative public-private partnerships, digital data informatics, and sustainable financing mechanisms. Her work has included strategizing the development of revolving funds for wastewater financing and providing expertise for Millennium Challenge Corporation Compacts on sustainable infrastructure financing. Earlier in her career, she contributed to pioneering life-cycle analyses at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and held leadership roles with private sector global environmental consulting firms.
Koo Oshima currently serves on the Governing Boards of the World Water Council, the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage, and the UNEP Global Partnerships on nutrient and wastewater management, and formerly with the CGIAR's Water Land Ecosystems program. She holds a graduate degree from Yale University and is a fluent English and Chinese speaker with strong proficiency in French, Italian, and Japanese.
The addition of Sasha, a recognized expert in water reuse, circular economy, and E&S governance, significantly strengthens Sustainability Frameworks' capacity to serve governments, companies, and international financial institutions navigating complex sustainability and ESG challenges. Her deep experience bridging scientific policy with practical financing solutions is a powerful complement to our team's existing strengths.
