The transition to a carbon-neutral economy is an enormous shift globally, leaving no sector untouched. Equally, the challenges are enormous on the strategic, operational and reputational fronts, which require urgent attention amidst the potential growth opportunities.
The energy sector has been identified as one of the major emitters of greenhouse gases. To that end, efforts have been made domestically and globally to curb the situation with the promotion of renewable energy; solar, hydro and biomass. This has seen development of off-grid, captive power solutions and clean energy cooking practices.
We are here to serve the renewable energy and clean technology sector, and to be part of the energy transition. Our team helps energy producers, investors and users in their quest to make their contribution towards the energy transition, enabling them meet their objectives.
The responsibility of managing environmental risks and liabilities, and giving due attention to environmental regulatory challenges has never been more critical to the success of any business than it is now.
Issues of climate change and sustainability are high on the global agenda. Therefore, there is an increasing need for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to conserving the environment. To that end, regulation of environmental impacts has become increasingly important domestically and internationally thus significantly influencing the operation and sustainability of businesses.
Breaches of environmental laws raise reputational risks for businesses and the possibility of penalties and third-party claims.
