JET + ESG = Opportunity, Not Obligation “The goal is not to outsource carbon to the developing world. It's to solve a global crisis, together.” Mila Vicquery, GM Energy Partners Sustainability, reminds us that South Africa's energy transition isn’t about morality or politics—it’s about common-sense commercial strategy: - Cleaner energy isn’t just greener—it’s often cheaper. - Embedded generation and PPAs give businesses real control. - Carbon taxes and global pressure are already here. The Just Energy Transition (#JET) is a chance to build smarter, stronger, and more future-proof operations—and the private sector must lead the way. The needle won’t move unless we move it.

ESG Should Be Led by Business, Not Politics. In her recent Moneyweb Now interview, Mila Vicquery, GM of Sustainability at Energy Partners, made it clear: The future of ESG isn’t in policy. It’s in the boardroom. In South Africa, forward-thinking businesses aren’t waiting for government. They’re investing in energy efficiency, on-site renewables, and risk-reduction strategies that make commercial and operational sense. “It’s no longer about compliance—it’s about control, resilience, and long-term competitiveness.” Listen to the interview https://lnkd.in/dqcatmib For more info sustainability@energypartners.co.za #ESGLeadership #SustainabilityStrategy #EnergyResilience #RiskManagement #CLevel #BusinessStrategy #PPAs #RenewableEnergy #JustEnergyTransition #SouthAfricaBusiness #EnergyPartners #MilaVicquery

Rethinking ESG: From Tick-Box to True Impact In her latest Moneyweb Now interview, Mila Vicquery, GM of Sustainability at Energy Partners, sets the record straight: ESG isn’t dead—it’s evolving. With the #Trump government pulling back on climate commitments and rising global uncertainty, South African businesses are taking the lead with smarter, impact-driven sustainability strategies. - #ESG is moving from surface-level reporting to measurable, commercially viable action - The private sector is stepping up—investing in on-site renewables, #energy efficiency, and low-carbon solutions - Inaction is risky—rising energy costs, carbon taxes, and operational instability are the price of delay - #PPAs offer a capex-free path to energy resilience, with expert O&M and long-term value “It’s no longer just about carbon reduction. It’s about true sustainability that delivers both environmental and financial returns.” — Mila Vicquery Catch the full interview below.
