Equator Mobility recently hosted the Africa E-Mobility Alliance (AfEMA) at their Mombasa Road workshop. AfEMA connects stakeholders across Africa’s electric mobility ecosystem to drive awareness, activate markets, and catalyse advocacy for a zero-emission transportation sector. Their vision: by 2030, 30% of vehicles sold in Africa will be zero-emission. During the event, the team worked with IFC - International Finance Corporation, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and The World Bank to discuss charging infrastructure, training, and carbon footprint reduction in Kenya. Equator Mobility is helping shape a sustainable, cleaner future for transportation in Kenya. #MarisLtd #Maris #InvestingInGrowth #Investing #InvestingInAfrica #EquatorMobility #AfricaEmobility #AfEMA #ElectricMobility #ZeroEmission #SustainableTransport #CarbonReduction #CleanEnergy #ChargingInfrastructure #KenyaEmobility #FutureOfTransport #GreenAfrica #MobilityInnovation #IFC #GIZ #WorldBank #2030Vision

Karebe Gold Mine (KGML) in Western Kenya is committed to improving infrastructure and funding social initiatives to support the community. Since the beginning of September, they’ve collaborated with the Nandi County Government on road improvements and the construction and furnishing of a new health clinic in Kibisem. They’ve also delivered vital medical supplies to local clinics and provided sanitary pads to schools, ensuring girls can stay in education. At the end of September, KGML officially opened an early years classroom in Kibongwa and finally co-ordinated the first Karebe community running challenge, with over 243 competitors. KGML is one example of how Maris support local communities, through direct employment and local infrastructure development, educational support, collaboration and outreach programmes. #CommunityImpact #HealthMatters #TogetherWeCan #SustainableMining #CorporateResponsibility #LocalDevelopment #EducationForAll #InfrastructureSupport #CommunityFirst #EmpoweringCommunities #EducationMatters #HealthcareForAll #WomenEmpowerment #SocialImpact

Congratulations Rosa Muthewuye on 10 years of growth and leadership at MMO, Mozambique Managed Offices Lda. Rosa joined MMO as a receptionist and has steadily worked her way up to Operations Manager. Her story stands out in a country where many women face significant barriers to employment and training. In Mozambique, where only 22% of girls complete secondary school and many women face financial exclusion, MMO is proud to lead by example. Today, 80% of its workforce and 100% of its senior management team are female. Across the Maris Group, we believe in the power of investing in people. By nurturing potential and creating opportunities for growth, we build resilient teams that drive lasting success. #WomenInLeadership #EmpowermentThroughGrowth #CelebratingSuccess #FemaleLeadership #Mozambique #WomenInBusiness #EqualOpportunities #TeamGrowth #InvestInPeople #WorkplaceDiversity #LeadershipJourney #InspiringWomen #MMO #Maris

There are now 5000 electric vehicles in Kenya and the government has committed to transitioning its fleet to electric. Alex Mwanzo, GM of Equator Mobility, has been at the forefront of Kenya’s EV market from the start. In this blog post, https://lnkd.in/dhbExzGN, Alex takes stock of the Kenyan EV market: "Whenever I talk to friends and customers in Nairobi about Electric Vehicles (EVs), I tend to get asked two questions: - Can it reach Mombasa from Nairobi (485km) on a single charge? - What are my charging options? The short answer to the Mombasa question is no…not yet…but who cares?! Most of us living in Nairobi have predictable routines that rarely involve driving to Mombasa: short commutes to work, lunch, and back home, typically covering less than 100 kilometers per day. This makes EVs ideal for daily use, especially since they spend most of their time parked. Having used an EV full-time for months, I've saved over 85% on fuel and virtually eliminated maintenance costs. I've taken my family on trips to Nanyuki (200km from Nairobi) in my Nissan Leaf, which proved cheaper and more comfortable than public transport. With infrastructure in its infancy, long-distance travel does remain challenging for most models in Kenya and across Africa, but the charging network is growing and with more fast chargers becoming available, full charges in an hour will soon be possible. Sales are increasing and the infrastructure will follow." Maris launched Equator Mobility in 2021 - Kenya’s first provider of fully-electric commercial vehicles and a leasing model that allows businesses to affordably transition their fleets from diesel to electric. #ElectricVehicles #EVKenya #SustainableTransport #GreenEnergy #EVInfrastructure #EquatorMobility #KenyaEVMarket #ElectricFleet #CleanEnergy #FutureOfTransport #ZeroEmissions #EVCharging #KenyaSustainability #ElectricCars #MarisAfrica

Africa is the world’s most rapidly urbanising continent. By 2035 more Africans will Iive in urban areas than rural villages - that’s 1 billion people (up from 650 million last year). It's a massive opportunity for property developers. At the Kenya Green Building Society Annual Conference 2024, Africa Logistics Properties CEO Raghav Gandhi spoke about the significant responsibility that accompanies this opportunity. “As developers and key players in the built environment, we must embrace sustainability and embed ESG practices into our operations. The decisions we make today shape the world we leave for tomorrow’s generations.” #ESG #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanGrowth #FutureGenerations #GreenBuilding #ALP #sustainablebuildings #KBGS #Kenya

Refugees from #Sudan land at our forestry operation in #SouthSudan. They are fleeing untold horror, which the international community must do more to end. Maris CEO, Charlie Tryon, explains why the fallout of this conflict will be felt regionally - and far beyond - in this blog post: https://lnkd.in/dVUuh2bP #investinafrica #triplebottomline #impact #Africa #impinv #profitpeopleplanet #Africa #MarisLtd #Maris #InvestingInGrowth #Investing #InvestingInAfrica #InvestmentHoldings #LongTermGrowth #SustainableGrowth #FrontierMarkets #Investors #RemoteBusiness #socialimpact #impinv #FastestGrowingMarkets #PrivateEquity #InvestAfrica

We’re upgrading our airstrip at Equatoria Teak Company, South Sudan, to accommodate evacuation flights from Sudan where the world’s worst humanitarian crisis is deepening by the day. The international community urgently needs to up its game and bring the war in Sudan to an end. The fighting is sending shockwaves throughout the region and could cause even deeper chaos if it doesn’t end soon.

Congratulations to three members of our META Plant & Equipment team in Kenya - Boniface Wambua (workshop manager), Fidelis Owino (technician) and Theophilus Kimathi (technician) who have successfully completed a course on hydraulics given by Gary Shaw of Power Twins in Nairobi. In countries where further education is out of reach for many young people, technicians often rely on informal, on-the-job, training. In 2019 3.5 percent of Kenya’s population had a university degree, compared to 13% in India and 30.9% in Europe. 7% had finished technical training after secondary school. Across the Maris Group we take our responsibility to create formalised training opportunities very seriously. When employers help their staff develop wider understanding - in this case of physics and engineering - standards rise and everyone benefits! #METAteam #Kenya #ProfessionalDevelopment #HydraulicsTraining #PowerTwins #TechEducation #SkillsDevelopment #MarisGroup #WorkplaceTraining #EngineeringExcellence #TrainingSuccess #CareerGrowth #TechnicalSkills #FutureOfWork #EducationMatters #TechTraining #EngineeringSkills #WorkplaceLearning #EmployeeDevelopment
