We believe in the desire and ability of African entrepreneurs to make 'responsible business'​ the single biggest transformative power of our time.

Investors today aren’t just looking for star financial performers. They seek committed companies able to increase profitability by making smart adjustments in challenging markets.
In a world of inequality, ecosystem loss, and climate change, well-managed & responsible businesses reduce their negative impacts and increase their positive role. 

The KudosAfrica Rating assesses and verifies businesses according to a core set of environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria, and applies tried and tested ESG criteria used by international investors. It incorporates indicators on business commitment and impact, as well as a focus on priorities for African companies.

The KudosAfrica score reflects performance across four key themes:
1. COMMITMENT: Strategy, policies, management systems, training, monitoring, disclosure, governance & ethics.
2. EFFICIENCY: Inputs and outputs that affect operations, use of resources, technology, and business costs.
3. RESILIENCE: Preparing for change & reducing risk through fair labour, community investment, stakeholder engagement, reduced resource dependency, and healthy ecosystems.
4. INNOVATION: Designing new practices, products, and services that have environmental and social benefits while creating business value.

The online self-assessment is simple enough for any company to get started and gives companies the opportunity to assess and manage their ESG performance, making themselves more attractive to potential investors.

Investors can benchmark their portfolios on these factors and source a regular & reliable supply of pre-qualified, responsible investment opportunities.
The KudosAfrica verified rating provides a unique lens for investors to assess current and potential responsible investment opportunities with confidence.
