South African government is awakening to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing as a new way of measuring the value of their investments. The government has started to think much more about ESG when they decide where to put their money by looking closer at how a business makes money, and in the process gaining an understanding that how a business makes money, how it affects people, and how it takes care of the environment are all interconnected.
This change towards digital ESG investing in South Africa is part of a bigger change currently occurring all over the world. Africa’s governments are increasingly recognizing the importance of digital ESG initiatives in driving sustainable development and economic growth.
