🌍 Reflections from the 2nd Annual Botswana ESG and Sustainable Finance Forum 🌱 I had the privilege of attending the 2nd Annual Botswana ESG and Sustainable Finance Forum. This gathering brought together influential leaders in banking, finance, pensions, insurance, investment, and other sectors to discuss the critical role of sustainable finance in achieving our sustainability goals. Sustainable finance is not just a buzzword; it is the cornerstone of our dreams to achieve a greener, more inclusive future. Our ambitions to address climate change, protect biodiversity, and promote social equity all hinge on the availability of adequate financing and funding. Throughout the forum, we delved into the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We explored the pathways Africa’s sustainable finance and capital markets can take to overcome barriers such as data availability, skills gap, market fragmentation, and lack of expertise. The discussions highlighted the importance of collaboration among central banks, policymakers, business executives, and investors to align investment solutions with sustainability goals. I am inspired by the commitment and innovative thinking demonstrated by all participants. The insights shared have reinforced my belief that with the right financial mechanisms, we can accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, inclusive, and resilient economy. Our journey towards sustainability is ongoing, and forums like this are vital in driving meaningful progress. I am excited about the future and the potential we have to make a lasting impact. Special thank you to Michael Ndinisa MNCapital Group Events for the invite and putting together an informative and progressive platform towards creating the Botswana We Want.

This September allow me “behave” like a typical LinkedIn influencer and share my most recent certification in ESG Disclosures and Sustainability Integration! Faisal Pyepar, BscTEL, OOH I greet you, sir. This certification has deepened my understanding of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and their critical role in shaping the future of responsible business practices. As you will recall, post the Kiteezi incident I wrote an article on the same. In an era where sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a vital business imperative, this certification equips me with the tools to contribute meaningfully to the development and implementation of strategies that not only drive profitability but also prioritize ethical considerations and long-term environmental stewardship. As a telecom lawyer, I see immense potential in integrating ESG principles into the telecommunications industry, particularly in how we manage our environmental impact, social impact, foster inclusive growth, and maintain robust governance practices. This knowledge will enable me to advocate more effectively for sustainable practices and to help steer my organization towards a future that is not only financially sound but also socially responsible and environmentally conscious. I am excited to apply what I’ve learned and to continue growing in this critical area. My appreciation to Dennis Kakonge for the nomination (thank you for believing & recognizing my potential), Flavia N Lwanga & manoj murali for their commitment to invest in their employees and ofcourse UGANDA SECURITIES EXCHANGE for organizing the masterclass. Boniface did a great job. #ESG #Sustainability #TelecomLaw #ResponsibleBusiness #ContinuousLearning #FutureOfWork
