Africa's ESG Knowledge Hub

We're Building the Expertise African Markets Need to Lead Their Own Sustainable Future

Every week, billions flow into African markets. But too often, ESG frameworks are designed elsewhere, applied here. Green Quotient exists because African perspectives aren't optional—they're essential.

What we do:** Original research. Practical resources. Real community. All free. All African-focused.

Why African ESG Expertise Matters Now

Global ESG investment has exploded to $35 trillion+. African markets are attracting unprecedented attention. But here's the problem:

❌ Most ESG frameworks ignore African contexts  

❌ Critical data gaps leave African companies undervalued  

❌ Sustainability solutions designed for Europe fail in Gaborone  

❌ African voices remain underrepresented in global ESG conversations

**The result?** African businesses struggle to access capital, despite leading innovations in sustainable agriculture, mobile-powered financial inclusion, and community-based resource management.

**We're changing that.**
