Development-finance and government institutions that have trusted our work

Who we are

We help institutions turn climate and ESG expectations into a credible business process

Founded to work at the intersection of climate, energy, and finance, C&E has spent more than twenty-seven years delivering innovative and resilient solutions for communities and institutions across Africa and beyond. Our focus has always been the sustainable management and use of resources, and the practical systems that make sustainability real rather than rhetorical.

We handle work from end to end — combining project management, capacity building, training, policy implementation, and community empowerment. Whether the client is a national government, a development finance institution, a bank, or a growing enterprise, our aim is the same: to help them understand what is required, see where they stand, and build something they can sustain.

That experience is what our climate risk and ESG readiness platform is built on. It brings the methods, evidence, and discipline we use in large programmes to the banks, SACCOs, insurers, listed companies, and businesses now facing climate and ESG expectations of their own.
