The Webber Wentzel #ESG Outlook 2024 highlights key ESG trends shaping South Africa's business landscape with global relevance. Despite anti-ESG sentiment, regulatory momentum persists, with progress in supply chain due diligence and sustainability reporting driven by the ISSB. South Africa is advancing in sustainable finance, with new carbon markets and climate disclosure policies for banks and insurers. The Just Energy Transition is gaining traction, though significant funding gaps remain. Social and governance challenges, including rising ESG litigation and South Africa’s grey-listing by FATF, will push businesses to adapt. In 2024, a focus on governance, carbon markets, and nature-positive projects will be crucial for long-term success.
