Herbert Smith Freehills ESG Tracker (SADC Edition)
There are so many ESG-related publications and developments that
it is hard to keep abreast of them all. For this reason, HSF
publishes a monthly tracker of ESG-related publications and
developments, with a primary focus on developments that may be of
most interest to or impact our clients in the Southern African
Development Community, be they corporates, asset managers or asset
owners. This issue covers the period from 1 to 30 September
2023.
Highlights for September which are considered in more detail
below include:
- South Africa: It is reported that the government would like to
expand the grid so that the country is able to accommodate the
renewable energy solutions that have been rolled out but not yet
connected as a result of transmission constraints.
