Tipping the Scale – Weekly ESG Insights with Bernadette Bule & Samm Marshall

--:--
In this week’s edition of Tipping the Scale, we explore Gross Ecosystem Product (GEP)—a groundbreaking metric that assigns economic value to nature’s contributions. First developed in China and later adopted by the UN, GEP challenges traditional GDP models by recognizing environmental wealth. Could this be the key to balancing economic growth with sustainability in Africa?

We also unpack a major anti-graft complaint against Bolloré Group, a logistics giant accused of securing African port concessions through influence-peddling. What does this case mean for corporate accountability in Africa?

Plus, we look ahead to two major ESG events in Cape Town—the ESG Africa Conference & Expo and Bonds, Loans & ESG Africa 2025—where global leaders will discuss the future of sustainable finance and governance.
