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:

  • Why does ESG matter to African renewable energy projects?

  • What is best practice when preparing ESG targets in renewable energy projects?

  • As renewable is not synonymous with sustainable, what are the pitfalls to look out for?

  • What bottlenecks exist in driving global investment into African renewables?

  • How can investors assess ESG credentials in African energy projects?

  • What are the risks associated with ESG investing?

  • How can good governance aid in meeting environmental targets?
