Sustainability

Our Environmental Goals

Africa is the most-exposed region to the adverse effects of climate change despite contributing the least to global warming. Climate change is predicted to significantly decrease Africa’s GDP through mechanisms such as lowered crop yields, reduced agricultural and labour productivity, and damage to human health. Tapping the continent’s vast renewable energy resources, such as solar, wind and geothermal bridges the energy gap; exploring new business opportunities in sustainable food and land use systems supports climate change adaptation and provides favourable opportunities to invest in Africa. ETK Group is driven by opportunism and a sense of moral justice, and we take action by bringing forward trade and investments that will enable Africa to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Africa’s transition to a new climate economy is underway in many places. ETK Group fully intends to be the tailwind that ensures Africa is positioned to fully capitalise on sustainable and environmental opportunities.

At ETK, we recognise the importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in today’s global business landscape. We are committed to conducting our operations with integrity, transparency, and a strong sense of responsibility towards the planet and society. Our ESG framework is integral to our business strategy and reflects our dedication to long-term sustainable growth.

Environmental (E):

We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint by adopting sustainable practices throughout our operations. This includes reducing carbon emissions, optimising resource consumption, and promoting the use of renewable energy sources. We actively seek solutions to address environmental challenges and strive to contribute positively to the ecosystems in which we operate.

Our commitment to social responsibility extends to our employees, customers, and the communities we serve. We prioritise diversity, equity, and inclusion within our workforce and foster a culture that values the well-being and professional development of our employees. We engage with our communities through philanthropy, volunteering, and partnerships to address social issues and promote positive change.

Governance (G):

Strong governance is fundamental to our success. We maintain high standards of corporate governance to ensure transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct in all our business activities. Our board of directors oversees the implementation of robust governance practices, and we actively engage with shareholders to promote open communication and alignment of interests.

Continuous Improvement:

We recognise that the landscape of ESG issues is dynamic, and we are committed to continuous improvement and considered and credible ESG reporting. We regularly assess and reassess our ESG performance, seeking feedback from stakeholders and integrating lessons learned into our business practices. We are dedicated to evolving our strategies to meet emerging challenges and contribute to a sustainable and equitable future.
