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.
