📈 Technology is increasingly a driver of socioeconomic development. Investors such as #AfricaGrow have increasingly focused on this sector to fund impactful and scalable companies. ⚠️ However, there is uncertainty on how to understand and manage technology-linked ESG risks in a way that is commensurate with the maturity and exposure of early-stage technology companies. Existing industry efforts are not consolidated. 🛣️ Together with DEG, we commissioned a Market Study on Responsible Investment in Technology and a set of Investor Guidelines that can be plugged into existing Environmental and Social Management Systems. 👇 Browse through the investor guidelines below or download them, directly. 👉 Click here for the market study: https://lnkd.in/e3eYmif4 📅 Join us on July 18th, from 10:00 – 11:00 CET or 15:00 – 16:00 CET for a webinar on MS Teams to learn more about the topic.
