Sustainability

Our approach to sustainability is built on strong foundations.

They guide how we work, underpin our focus on safety, and support our emissions, people and community aims. We are working to embed sustainability more widely in our culture, business decisions, processes and governance.

Our sustainability frame

Eliminating routine flaring sits at the centre; everything around it is measured against a target and disclosed.

Engaging with our stakeholders

We operate in markets where the value of what we produce is judged locally, not just by the balance sheet. That makes engagement an operating requirement rather than a communications exercise.

These are the groups whose expectations shape how the business runs.

  • Our peopleEngineering cadetships and technical apprenticeships run in every country where we hold producing interests, and 94% of the operational workforce are African nationals.
  • Customers and off-takersIndustrial off-takers and grid-connected consumers who depend on contracted supply, and whose demand shapes where generation capacity goes next.
  • Government and regulatorsLicensing, environmental compliance and local content reporting in each country of operation.
  • Host communitiesCommunities adjacent to operated assets, including the 48,000 households on last-mile connections from our distributed generation fleet.
  • SuppliersA minimum of 70% of procurement spend goes to in-country suppliers, which makes supplier development part of the operating model rather than an add-on.
