Energy, Mining & Infrastructure

ESG in the Energy, Mining & Infrastructure Sector

Mission Statement

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations are central to the development and sustainability of Africa’s energy, mining, and infrastructure sectors. RBGLP supports clients in integrating ESG principles into their operations to foster innovation, ensure compliance, and drive responsible growth.

The Issue

The sectors face mounting pressures from:

• Climate change mandates driving decarbonisation of energy systems and mining operations.
• Stakeholders demanding transparency in environmental stewardship, local community engagement, and resource management.
• Evolving regulations, including regional compliance frameworks like the African Mining Vision and Zambia’s environmental protection laws.

What We Do

We offer a broad spectrum of services, including:

• Advising on renewable energy projects, such as hydropower, solar farms, and wind energy ventures, to align with Africa’s energy transition goals.
• Supporting mining companies in implementing ESG-aligned operational frameworks, including stakeholder consultations and sustainable resource extraction practices.
• Providing guidance on the development of large-scale infrastructure projects, including public-private partnerships (PPPs), with a focus on environmental and social impact compliance.

Our Impact

RBGLP has assisted clients in Zambia and the sub-region with innovative projects, including:

• Structuring and financing green hydrogen production projects.
• Advising on community engagement strategies to mitigate disputes and secure social licences for mining operations.
