ESG Integration in Emerging Market Investments

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are no longer optional in emerging market investments. They are essential for sustainable long-term returns and risk mitigation.

The ESG Imperative

In African markets, ESG integration serves multiple purposes:

• Risk mitigation in volatile regulatory environments
• Access to international capital and development finance
• Alignment with local community needs and expectations
• Long-term value creation through sustainable practices

Our ESG Framework

RCJ Capital has developed a comprehensive ESG framework specifically for African investments:

• Environmental: Climate risk assessment, resource efficiency, and renewable energy adoption
• Social: Community impact, job creation, and skills development programs
• Governance: Board diversity, transparency, and anti-corruption measures

This framework has enabled us to achieve both superior financial returns and positive social impact across our portfolio.
