Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report

When no one would listen, we hit record. We gave the unheard a microphone and a moment. Raw, unfiltered & real.

Introduction

With a mission to Positively Influence Society, Nation Media Group (NMG) is committed to running a sustainable business, ensuring that every facet of our strategy and operations aligns with the principles of ethical and responsible growth.

By integrating sustainability into our business, we create solutions that not only push us forward but also contribute positively to the environment and the communities we operate in.

In this report, we will focus on the operations of our Kenya business as well as data and insights from our subsidiaries in Uganda and Tanzania. As we continue maturing our sustainability reporting, we intend to integrate a more comprehensive ESG report.

Our Reporting Standards

This report has been prepared referencing the GRI Standards 2021. Our goal, therefore, is to deliver a sustainability report that meets global best practices, with a focus on transparency and accountability, and in accordance with the GRI Standards and the guidelines shared by the Nairobi Securities Exchange.

This report also serves as our Communication on Progress – an explicit responsibility of our continued membership of the UN Global Compact (UNGC) and the Global Compact Network Kenya (GCNK).
