Welcome to the final episode of the Sanlam ESG Barometer podcast series for 2024.
As we continue to witness the rapid evolution of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations, particularly in emerging markets, the concept of ESG additionality has become increasingly significant. According to a recent report by the Global Reporting Initiative, companies that prioritize ESG additionality can drive measurable impacts that go beyond mere compliance. In Kenya, this notion is particularly pertinent, with the potential to enhance both sustainability and economic growth.
The 2024 Sanlam ESG Barometer reveals insightful data on how businesses in Kenya are approaching ESG initiatives. For instance, over 60% of companies surveyed indicated a commitment to integrating additional ESG strategies to create positive societal impacts, highlighting a collective understanding of the necessity to go beyond traditional practices.
