Walking the Talk Together for a Greener Africa

The region is one of the world’s smallest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions, yet remains one of the most vulnerable areas on Earth. Over the past 50 years, we have dedicated more than 20% of our total investment (USD 2.04 bn) to high impact sustainable projects in order to build a greener Africa.
