#Africa, the second-largest land mass, boasts the world's second-largest lung after the Amazon. Despite this, it holds only 13% of carbon credits. With the largest projected workforce by 2030, we're committed to fostering sustainable economies through the carbon market, breaking free from foreign debt and aid dependency. Let's propel Africa into a prominent role in the climate market.

Very excited to see the launch of Environmental, Social, and Governance [ESG] Program in Ethiopia. http://wrld.bg/s4KO50QcV8X 📈 ESG as a Catalyst for Growth: The integration of ESG principles isn't just a responsibility; it's an opportunity. Forward-thinking businesses that prioritize ESG are more likely to attract investments, enhance resilience, and build long-term value. Sustainable development and economic growth go hand in hand. 🌐 Global Recognition and Partnerships: The international community increasingly values businesses committed to ESG. By aligning with global sustainability goals, the private sector in Ethiopia can access new markets, forge strategic partnerships, and enhance their reputation on a global scale. 🤝 Collaboration for a Better Future: Achieving sustainable development requires collaborative efforts. Ethiopian Government, businesses, and communities must work hand in hand to create a positive impact. The private sector plays a pivotal role as an engine of innovation and change, driving progress towards a more sustainable and equitable future. 🔍 ESG Implementation – a Continuous Journey: Embracing ESG is not a one-time task; it's an ongoing commitment. Continuous improvement, transparency, and accountability are essential elements of a successful ESG strategy. Businesses that adapt and evolve will not only survive but thrive in the changing landscape. #esg #investments #sustainabledevelopment #business #commerce #sdgs #capitalmarkets #trade #dei #responsibleinvestment #finance #development #opportunity #msd #gamechanger #povertyreduction #privatesector #esgstrategy #sociallyresponsibleinvesting #impactinvesting #greenbonds #sri #esgratings #esgfunds #stakeholdercapitalism #PrinciplesforResponsibleInvestment #materialityanalysis #carbonmarkets #greenfinance #impactinvesting
