Our approach to sustainability
Our sustainability strategy aligns with our purpose of driving inclusive and sustainable growth. By providing products and services that meet the development needs of Africa and her people, we achieve our purpose.
We support a just transition that seeks to achieve the imperative for environmental sustainability in a manner that creates decent work opportunities and social inclusion, addresses Africa’s energy poverty.

We recognise that effective ESG risk management is crucial to minimise direct and indirect harm to the environment and society arising from our operations, who we do business with and what we finance, and how we balance Africa’s need for affordable energy with climate considerations and the need for a just transition.

Working with our stakeholders, we drive sustainable and inclusive growth across 20 African economies by supporting businesses and creating new jobs, helping individuals to invest in their futures, and partnering with governments and private sector to develop vital infrastructure, minimising negative environmental and social impacts.
