Founder’s Welcome

It’s always a pleasure to present to you our latest Issue, and with this one being our 6th since our rebrand, we are thankful that you continue to choose us as your preferred choice for a publication centered on CSR and CSI initiatives. The first quarter of the year 2023 is characterised by heightened business activity, and the conversation on everyone’s lips is the fact that the year seems to be progressing all too fast for most people, given the increasing workloads that are synonymous with the turn of a new year. I would have to say that I do agree with that notion. The environment has indeed picked up and we would like to keep the momentum along with the current business landscape. In our last Issue, I mentioned that we are working on establishing the Magazine as a Pan African publication that not only looks at Botswana, but covers the rest of Africa. I am pleased to share that as we work on our strategy to position ourselves as a digital Pan-African publication with a global perspective, our goal remains to outline and promotes sustainability through positive change and advocacy.

As businesses grow, there is focus on other areas that facilitate sustainable businesses, including the notion and practice of integrating Environmental, Societal and Governance (ESG) issues into operational frameworks. ESG has become a new way of doing business where in some cases, governments are making it a legal requirement for companies to consider producing reports on their impact on ESG. Investors also use ESG information and application to make decisions regarding their investments. ESG will surely be a topic and practice of focus into the future and will be a yard stick that measures business sustainability and of course, we will be on the pulse of bringing you updates on this every exciting subject!

Sincerely,
