We have also taken an active role in harnessing the potential of a global hydrogen economy, including through our Board membership of the Hydrogen Council, a global CEO-led initiative of leading companies with a united vision and long term ambition: for hydrogen to foster the clean energy transition for a better, more resilient future.

To develop the roadmap for a 'Just Energy Transition" in South Africa it is crucial that all the major players work in concert to advocate and direct policy. To this extent, our CEO Natascha Viljoen was a key influencer and driver of the creation of The Energy Council of South Africa, which is a CEO-led initiative that brings together key public and private stakeholders and local development finance institutions that actively participate in the energy sector.
