#EnergyThatTransforms: Today, Practical Action in Kenya, in partnership with BasiGo, convened key players in the e-mobility sector to discuss tools to secure a sustainable future for this growing industry. The discussions focused on the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) frameworks and the Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS) we are developing for the e-mobility sector. This is part of an initiative supported by P4G Partnerships. "Kenya’s e-mobility sector is expanding rapidly.ESG considerations are crucial for e-mobility firms to ensure responsible business practices and to attract high-value financing for growth," said Susan Maina, Practical Action in Kenya's Country Director in her keynote address. BasiGo's ESG Manager Mukiri Joy took participants through an overview of ESG modules and the need for firms to develop compliance roadmaps. P4G Partnerships's Paul Mbole noted that once completed, these ESG and ESMS tools will be available for e-mobility startups to adapt to their unique needs. An engaging panel discussion featuring Tim Mwangi, Jemimah Muli, Francis Romano, Mukiri Joy and Silvia Mwaura explored the challenges and opportunities in implementing ESG in the e-mobility sector. Practical Action in Kenya's Project Manager George Theuri said further consultations with industry stakeholders are planned to ensure the final ESG and ESMS toolkits are well-tailored to the sector's requirements. A big thanks to all who participated in the event, including Electric Mobility Association of Kenya (EMAK) members. Together, we're paving the way for a responsible and sustainable e-mobility future in Kenya.
