Shared Value: The responsible step beyond ESG By Nana Ama Owusu-Agyemang, M.A. One thing is for sure, in Namibia, corporates are finding their rhythm in the proverbial dance with ESG. It is all we hear about at tables of influence and has become an increasingly key part of business strategy, as entities continue to lean towards responsible business. Yes, sure, we could say that the global buzz around Namibia is favourable – but of what worth is the frenzy, without an honest commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles, beyond a performative agenda? https://lnkd.in/dgSmxdpv #namibia #ESG Advantage Advertising Namibia #strategy

We are proud to present the results from our first ever Sustainability Materiality Assessment 2024. This Sustainability Materiality Assessment was conducted for Relocation Africa with the objective of identifying the most crucial sustainability concerns and opportunities within our operations in Africa. By identifying and prioritising sustainability issues relevant to our operations and stakeholders, we can have a greater impact, one that is required and based off the interests of our external and internal stakeholders, and one that is far more significant than just ticking compliance boxes or receiving accreditations with no action. Our results displayed in the graph highlight the areas of ESG issues most significant to our company and our stakeholders. With this information, we strive to drive positive change within the African market directly impacting our priorities that are identified in our materiality assessement. Sustainable Development is a journey. It is a continuous process of improvement and adaptation. The results obtained from this assessment will guide Relocation Africa in our sustainability journey and allow us to take meaningful action and impact. #Sustainability #ESG #globalmobility #relocationafrica

💥 Institutional Obligation: Reporting to Society 💥 🌱 In this era of sustainability reporting, transparency and accountability are paramount for organizations. Even though sustainability reporting within the East African region is still relatively nascent compared to more developed markets, the Report to Society has emerged as a crucial tool for organizations committed to sustainability. 🌱 It is not just a document but a powerful means to engage with diverse stakeholders. In Uganda, Several institutions like Stanbic Bank, Kakira Sugar Works, National Social Security Fund, UMEME Limited, Tullow Oil, and several others have already started on this journey by mapping their sustainability initiatives to the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) targets in their reports. 🌱 This comprehensive document showcases an organization's efforts to address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. It serves as a bridge, connecting your organization with crucial stakeholders in your sustainability journey.

Towards Sustainability Development Goals: A Journey from Challenges to Sustainable Triumphs In Nairobi's bustling heart, where urban life intersects with environmental commitment, Beatrice Wanjiru Mwangi embarked on a visionary journey. The founder of Towards Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), Beatrice aimed to contribute to climate action through her environmental consultancy firm. However, ambitious projects come with challenges. Before joining the program, Towards SDGs faced obstacles hindering growth. Operating without formal registration compromised legal adherence and impacted market reach and revenue. The focus on the environment overshadowed social and governance components, leading to isolation within the industry.

ESG Africa Events, the organisers of the ESG Africa conference and bronze sponsor of the 2024 WhyAfrica Road Trip, in partnership with Moore Global, last week launched the ESG Africa Confidence Index, a pivotal new survey. This comprehensive index is tailored to evaluate the extent of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) integration within companies throughout Africa, with the aim of advancing sustainable development across the continent. The ESG Africa Confidence Index delves into the practical application of ESG frameworks within African businesses, government institutions and other organisations, examining how these practices are integrated into operations and strategy. The index also assesses leadership commitment to ESG initiatives and explores the strategies organisations employ to weave ESG principles into their operational fabric. Furthermore, the survey identifies the primary challenges and opportunities in ESG implementation, while providing insights into current and emerging trends across a diverse range of industries and company sizes. “The ESG Africa Confidence Index represents a significant step forward in our understanding of how African companies are adopting and implementing sustainable practices” says Jeff Blackbeard, Director of Sector and Markets at Moore Global. “We are at a critical juncture where integration of ESG can determine the competitive edge and sustainability of businesses on the global stage.” We encourage organisations from across Africa to participate in this unique survey, helping to redefine the parameters of sustainable business practices on the continent.
