Advocate
Advocate for and Communicate Social Performance Good Practice
We advocate for stronger recognition and integration of Social Performance within the renewable energy transition by engaging decision-makers, shaping narratives, and amplifying underrepresented voices.
Through targeted Advocacy Campaigns, we work to influence policy and practice, spotlighting gaps in the current system and promoting more socially just approaches to development. We support these efforts with well-crafted communication materials and through participating in key national and international workshops and conferences, we ensure that social performance stays visible, relevant, and central to the energy transition agenda in South Africa and beyond.
