ESG and Renewable Energy in Africa
In partnership with
Clear Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets and measurements have become an increasingly important part of fundraising as investors seek to align their portfolios with sustainable growth. For a continent boasting ample natural resources, this presents a significant opportunity for Africa’s green energy sector. However, renewable does not always equal sustainable and developing and articulating ESG metrics can pose a significant challenge to projects as they prepare investment rounds. In this webinar, Invest Africa and DLA Piper will discuss ESG best practice in African renewable energy as part of our initiative to drive global investors towards critical projects across the continent.
Discussion Points:

How can investors assess ESG credentials in African energy projects?
