Ballo Sustainability Actions

Discussed green bonds

Green bonds are a perfect example of a financial project that combines profit and sustainability. A green bond is a type of investment instrument (a loan or debt) issued by governments, companies, or institutions to raise money specifically for environmentally friendly projects, for example: building renewable energy (solar, wind), developing sustainable agriculture, improving water and waste management, creating energy-efficient buildings.

Highlighted ESG finance

Traditional finance alone will not get us there. The bond and equity markets, if harnessed with sustainability at their core, can unlock a new era of growth that is not only profitable but also inclusive and climate-resilient.

Referenced blended finance

Green-for-Access (G4A) and GreenShift Africa (GSA) are two complementary blended-finance platforms expanding access to climate-smart finance across Africa. G4A de-risks local lenders to extend affordable, local-currency loans for productive-use energy and e-mobility assets. GSA provides trade and working-capital finance that helps clean-tech companies import and deploy those assets.

Signed DBSA partnership

The Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and PROPARCO have signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), extending over 25 years of collaboration to 2030. Together, they are driving impact through climate finance and green infrastructure, support to municipalities and state-owned enterprises, private sector development, the Just Transition Financing Mechanism, and nature-positive investments that protect biodiversity.
