Project: Promoting Corporate Accountability in Zimbabwe’s Mining sector through Sustainability Reporting and Media Engagement for access to information
Project Implementation Location(s): Zimbabue
Project Cluster: Legal
Organization: Zimbabwe Environmental Law Association (ZELA)
Project Year: 2024
Project Summary: As of January 2024, compliance with ESG standards became a legal requirement in Zimbabwe. This mandates all publicly listed companies on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) and the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX) to report on sustainability matters. Traditionally, corporate disclosure of this type of information has not been available. ZELA will push for strong public ESG reporting by companies through tactics including: community-based research and engagement, corporate -civil society – government dialogues, and media capacity building.
