JCG has an ethical, responsible and sustainable business framework that ensures delivery of our committments to all our stakeholders.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
GL Africa Energy is a member of the Janus Continental Group (JCG), a group comprised of market-leading companies in the Energy, Real Estate, Conservation and Hospitality sectors. At GL Africa Energy, we are constantly deepening the alignment of our operations behind our Group's mission, while considering our outward impact on, and the operational risks presented by, environmental, social and governance factors.
JCG is led by a Board which is responsible and accountable for the long-term success, reputation and governance of the company. The Board is responsible for leading and controlling the company in accordance with the terms of reference outlined in its Board Charter and for meeting all legal and regulatory requirements. It is committed to upholding the highest governance standards in the performance of these duties.
We take a cohesive, consistent and transparent approach to delivering a safe and progressive workplace by providing employees with professional and well-informed advice, guidance and support through our Code of Business Conduct framework. We operate an ethical, values-driven culture and aim to be a leading company in how we support employee health, well-being and personal development.
We are each responsible for advancing an inclusive environment, giving back to the community and ensuring a sustainable future for all. We have our CSR projects commit both financial and human resource to health, education and conservation initiatives across the countries in we operate in.
As a business in the energy sector, the energy transition represents more than the critical environmental goals we must collectively meet. It represents an urgent social need to ensure equitable access to reliable energy solutions and the infrastructure to deliver it. This is how we will drive a more sustainable future across Africa.
We are building cleaner energy generation capacity, as well as investing in the infrastructure to help underserved communities to draw from it, ensuring that nobody in Africa is left behind as the global transition accelerates.
Our investment in lower carbon solutions, from liquid natural gas (LNG) to dual-fuel tanker fleets, photovoltaic solar solutions and battery technology to harness renewable energy will contribute to a crucial rebalancing of energy sources.
This transition will not happen overnight. As we pursue our mission to advance impact every day, we do so while recognising and responding to the complexities associated with achieving an inclusive global energy transition that protects and unlocks the great potential of Africa and its diverse people.
Conservation
GL Africa Energy proudly supports the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy, known for its Mountain Bongo Breeding and Rewilding program. This initiative aims to reintroduce the critically endangered Mountain Bongo, which is native to Kenya, ensuring a better world for future generations.
Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy
As part of giving back to the community, the Group owns and operates through Trustees, the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy.
The main objective of the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy is the rehabilitation of the critically endangered Mountain Bongo antelope through breeding genetically diverse and healthy Bongos for reintroduction to their natural habitats. Ours is the only breeding program in the world located in the Mountain Bongo's natural range.
The Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy also runs an Animal Orphanage and an education program that introduces young learners to the world of conservation. It hosts over 10,000 students every year.
In its work, the Wildlife Conservancy partners closely with the National Bongo Taskforce Committee, the Kenya Wildlife Service, Kenya Forest Service, schools and the local community.
GL Africa Energy is proud to be a long-term supporter of the Mount Kenya Wildlife Conservancy (MKWC).
