It’s me again!

News reaching here from East Africa says Kenya’s listed companies are about to start showing their workings. The country’s capital markets regulator wants companies listed on its stock exchange to explain how they’re applying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles rather than just saying they do.

What’s more interesting is that bonuses tied to executives’ compensation could soon depend on hitting sustainability targets, if the proposal goes through. If you’re working in one of these companies, your key performance indicator (KPI) is about to include ‘saving the planet,’ so your CEO can earn a bigger pay cheque.
