“We have the capacity to create a remarkably different economy: one that can restore ecosystems and protect the environment while bringing forth innovation, prosperity, meaningful work, and true security. – Paul Hawken.

In this month’s Risk Insights™/ ESG GPS™ monthly newsletter we continue sharing our investments into more sustainable future. Risk Insights™ is an active contributor in educating, training, and developing people living in our orbit - Africa on the importance of ESG as a tool to compete and more importantly to make the world a better place for all.

This November, Risk Insights participated in some exciting sustainable engagements, and we are planning more, and we invite you to be part of our orbit. Some of the events and engagement for this month are:

Africa’s drive Towards Sustainability: ESG GPS Mauritius Launch

Risk Insights launched its award winning ESG GPS rating model for all listed companies in Mauritius.  The Republic of Mauritius has made substantial progress in its campaign for social equality and poverty reduction and represents an exemplary model of development on many dimensions. Mauritius is classified as an upper-middle-income country by the World Bank, with a high Human Development Index, and is seeking to become a high-income country within the next decade. Over years it became one of the gateways to Africa.  Leadership on ESG best practices and frameworks is critical. Adapting to ESG demands, Mauritius will be paving the way forward for development in Africa.

ESG GPS. The tool is based on global best practice and bespoke to the country’s laws and regulations. ESG GPS rates all companies listed on The Stock Exchange of Mauritius.
