ABOUT OHANA

OUR STORY

Founded in March 2019, Ohana’s story actually begins in the summer of 2017. During a 44-day hiking trip, covering over 1000km, Pascale Moreau realised that she desired to work for a specific kind of organisation which didn’t seem to exist. An experienced public affairs manager, Pascale was convinced of her ability to reconcile corporate interests and environmental concerns and decided to create the first public affairs consultancy exclusively dedicated to sustainability.
