Our Core Values

Implementation

We focus on making things happen, not just theory – which is why ESS team members live in the countries where we work.

Our teams understand the reality of emerging markets, applying our on-the-ground experience in getting things right and avoiding potential pitfalls in difficult settings.

International Quality

ESS produces international quality work at emerging market rates, applying strict quality control and meeting key standards.

Our clients have full confidence in our work, knowing that we provide the same high-quality service to small projects and major international financial institutions.

Cost-Effectiveness

ESG shouldn’t be expensive, so we’ve developed a unique low-cost business model that also meets local content requirements.

We understand your business needs – as well as those of investors, governments and communities – helping to achieve your business goals cost-effectively.

Creating Leaders

Our mission is to develop the next generation of HSEC, ESG and sustainability leaders in Africa and emerging markets.

We put recent graduates and early-career professionals in the driving seat, providing an innovative and intensive training programme that supports long-term success.
