The forum is scheduled to run from April 12 to 13.
The ESG Botswana Forum is a country-specific programme primarily developed for institutional investors and big businesses to come together and engage in conversations that will lead to the formulation of strategies that will see the country thrive economically whilst adopting non-financial factors like the planet and people into their investment.
The forum is designed as a meeting platform for the entire institutional and ESG ecosystem where participants will engage in best practices on ESG and formulate implementable strategies to align the planet, people, and profits.
MNCapital Botswana general manager, Gobopaone Gaseitsewe, the company prides itself on becoming the first institutional investment-to-communications and research firm to bring ESG-focused conversations into the African continent in the form of a conference.
“Our group has intensified its efforts of creating such platforms for these critical conversations and hence instead of having one ESG conference that is open to the entire continent, we bring it down to the specific requirements of selected countries. “That is how the Botswana ESG and Sustainable Forum has been born,” he said.
In 2011, the group hosted the first ever ESG-Conference in Africa which focused on integrating ESG investment strategies in portfolio management from an African perspective. The conference was designed to present an opportunity for Africa’s finance and investment community to meet, share, network, and discuss ESG issues in the African context.
MNCapital Group is a South Africa-headquartered Africa-focused institutional investment communications and research firm that has become synonymous with hosting conferences and training that are specifically curated to highlight investment opportunities within the African continent. The group also assists institutional funds to function optimally through industry-focused training programmes like the Fund Trustees Intensive which is designed to provide trustees with the knowledge and skills that they need to navigate their fast-paced working environment.
