ESG is vitally important because it relates to a company’s internal practices and policies that lead to effective decision making and, in turn, facilitates sustainable top-line growth into the future.
Investors are increasingly integrating ESG and climate factors alongside financial factors into their decision-making to measure the resiliency of portfolios to long-term ESG risks and opportunities.
Tshikululu’s ESG Awards Africa celebrates those who are actively striving to address and progress ESG issues within their organisation.
Under 12 categories, the Awards will showcase and recognise the successes of ESG initiatives, examples of best practice and highlight the importance of transparency in this area.
