Directors’ CSR & ESG Roundtable: Zambian Business Leaders Chart a Path to Sustainable and Responsible Growth

in News  by CSRNZ Media 0 comments

Lusaka, Zambia – 17th February 2026 – CSR Network Zambia today convened an exclusive Directors’ CSR & ESG Roundtable at the Southern Sun Hotel, bringing together a distinguished group of Chief Executive Officers, Board Chairpersons, Directors, and senior executives for a high-level dialogue on the future of responsible business in Zambia.

The roundtable, serving as the strategic prelude to the 7th Annual CSR, ESG and Sustainability Conference, was officially opened by Dr. Douty Chibamba, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Green Economy and Environment (MGEE) , who delivered a powerful keynote address that set the tone for the day’s deliberations.

 

Official Opening: A Call to Strategic Leadership

In his address, Dr. Chibamba commended CSR Network Zambia for convening this critical platform for dialogue among corporate leaders.

“The participation of Chief Executive Officers, Directors and other heads of institutions underscores a growing recognition that Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is no longer a peripheral issue, but a core strategic imperative for sustainable business and national development.”

He emphasised that the roundtable comes at a critical time when businesses are increasingly called upon not only to generate economic value, but also to demonstrate measurable social impact and environmental stewardship.

 

 

The Strategic Role of Corporates in National Development

Dr. Chibamba highlighted the pivotal moment at which Zambia stands in its development trajectory, noting that as the nation pursues economic transformation, industrialisation, and increased investment, growth must not come at the expense of the environment or social cohesion.

“ESG provides a structured and transparent approach for integrating environmental protection, social inclusion, ethical leadership, and accountability into corporate decision-making. It is a practical tool that enables companies to identify and manage risks, improve compliance, attract sustainable finance, and strengthen stakeholder trust.”

He further emphasised that ESG positions Zambian companies competitively within global value chains where investors and markets increasingly demand sustainability performance and climate disclosures.

The Permanent Secretary anchored this call firmly within national policy direction, referencing:

  • The Eighth National Development Plan, which places environmental sustainability and climate resilience at the centre of Zambia’s socio-economic transformation

  • Zambia’s Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, which require strong private sector engagement in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable land management

  • The National Green Growth Strategy, which provides a roadmap for transitioning to a resource-efficient, climate-resilient economy

“ESG implementation within your institutions directly contributes to realising this strategy by aligning profitability with environmental integrity and social equity.”

Appreciation for Corporate Leadership

Dr. Chibamba expressed profound appreciation for the role Zambian corporates are already playing in advancing sustainable development, acknowledging that the responsibility for sustainable development cannot rest on government alone.

“It requires a shared vision and collective action between the public and private sectors. ESG is the bridge that connects business performance with national development priorities.”

He also extended sincere gratitude to the Government of Sweden, through His Excellency Ambassador Johan Hallenborg, for its collaboration under the Zambia National Extractive Exchange (ZAMNEX) Partnership , demonstrating how international partnerships can support transparency, responsible investment, and sustainable resource governance in Zambia.

“We value Sweden’s continued support in strengthening ESG practices and responsible business conduct in our country.”

Boards: The Key to Unlocking Sustainability Potential

A central theme of the roundtable was the critical role of boards in driving the sustainability agenda. Dr. Chibamba underscored that leaders set the tone at the top:

“When boards prioritise ESG, management follows. When CEOs integrate sustainability into corporate strategy, employees internalise it. When companies operate responsibly, communities prosper and the nation benefits.”

Ms. Claire Limbwambwa, who facilitated the Strategic Plenary on Boardroom Challenges in ESG Adoption, led participants in a candid, closed-door discussion on the friction between short-term profitability and long-term sustainability. The session explored the real-world challenges Zambian boards face, including:

  • Misaligned board composition that lacks sustainability expertise

  • Inadequate training of board members on emerging ESG issues and the strategic components of CSR

  • Hindering dynamics within boards that prevent meaningful integration of sustainability into governance structures

  • The need to move beyond viewing ESG as a compliance exercise to embracing it as a driver of business viability and risk management

Mr. Trevor Hambayi, who facilitated the Formulation Session: Defining the ‘Responsible Business’ Standard for Zambia, guided participants through group work designed to provide executive input on the practical application of a responsible business in Zambia. The session grappled with the unique dynamics of defining responsible business within the Zambian socio-economic context—bridging global standards with local, community-centered traditions.

Participants explored what constitutes a “Responsible Business” in Zambia, considering:

  • The balance between international ESG frameworks and local cultural values

  • Community-centered approaches to stakeholder engagement

  • The integration of traditional leadership structures into modern governance practices

  • Practical pathways for embedding sustainability into core business strategy

The sessions underscored that while Zambian boards face significant challenges, they also hold the key to unlocking long-term value through strategic ESG integration.

CSR Network Zambia: Sustaining the Conversation at the Highest Level

Reflecting on the day’s outcomes, Lee Muzala, Executive Director of CSR Network Zambia, emphasised the need for such conversations to be held regularly and at the highest levels of corporate leadership.

“What we witnessed today is a recognition that sustainability cannot be delegated to peripheral departments. It must be owned in the boardroom. The candid exchanges, the honest acknowledgment of challenges, and the collective commitment to shaping a Zambian standard for responsible business—these are the foundations upon which we will build a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous economy.”

He reaffirmed CSRNZ’s commitment to creating platforms for peer learning, capacity building, and strategic dialogue, ensuring that Zambian leaders are equipped to navigate the evolving ESG landscape with confidence and integrity.

“This roundtable is not a once-off event. It is the beginning of an ongoing conversation at the highest level. We will continue to convene, to challenge, and to support our corporate leaders as they lead the charge toward a sustainable and prosperous Zambia.”

Looking Ahead

CSR Network Zambia is pleased to announce that the Directors’ CSR & ESG Roundtable will now be convened as an annual event on the corporate calendar. This decision stems from the recognition that sustainability cannot be driven from operational levels alone—it requires sustained, high-level engagement where those who set strategic direction can candidly explore emerging challenges, share innovative solutions, and hold themselves collectively accountable. By bringing together CEOs, Board Directors, and senior executives every year, CSRNZ aims to create a continuous platform for peer learning, governance excellence, and strategic alignment with both national priorities and global ESG standards. This annual convening ensures that Zambia’s corporate leadership remains at the forefront of responsible business practice, driving impact not as a one-time commitment, but as an enduring legacy.

CSR Network Zambia and Z’Kidpreneur Academy Forge Strategic Alliance to Cultivate Zambia’s Future Sustainability Leaders

in News / Partnerships  by CSRNZ Media 0 comments

LUSAKA, ZAMBIA – In a move that redefines the trajectory of corporate responsibility in the region, CSR Network Zambia (CSRNZ) has officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Z’Kidpreneur Academy. This partnership marks the birth of the Eco-Fusion Project, a pioneering initiative designed to anchor sustainability and environmental innovation in the hearts and minds of Zambia’s youngest citizens.

The core of this partnership is the recognition that the transition to a Green Economy cannot be achieved through adult-led policy alone. By focusing on children aged 8–18, Eco-Fusion addresses environmental challenges—particularly waste management—at their educational roots.

Engaging children is not merely a social gesture; it is a strategic necessity for the following reasons:

  • Systemic Behavioral Change – Early engagement promotes a generation of “Sustainability Natives” who view environmental stewardship as a fundamental lifestyle, rather than a forced compliance.
  • Innovation Catalysts – Through “Challenge Workshops” and interactive learning, children are empowered to design localized solutions for climate and waste challenges, serving as active problem-solvers for their communities.
  • Institutional Legacy – Participating organizations are not just funding an event; they are building long-term capability and credibility before sustainability challenges become externally imposed regulatory obligations.

“Sustainability and waste management are no longer future considerations; they are immediate operational and reputational priorities,” says Lee Muzala, Executive Director of CSR Network Zambia. “This partnership reflects a deliberate shift toward proactive leadership. We are involving experts to translate abstract concepts into measurable outcomes that begin in the classroom and end in the boardroom.”

Chimfwembe Mulenga, Executive Director of Z’Kidpreneur Academy, echoed this sentiment, adding: “We’re excited to partner with CSR Network Zambia on the Eco-Fusion Project. At Z’Kidpreneur Academy, we’re passionate about empowering Zambia’s children with the skills and mindset to drive positive change. This partnership aligns perfectly with our mission to cultivate a generation of young leaders who can tackle pressing environmental challenges.

By joining forces with CSR Network Zambia, we’re taking a significant step towards integrating sustainability and entrepreneurship into the fabric of our education system. The Eco-Fusion Project will not only inspire young minds but also equip them with the tools to design innovative solutions for a greener future.”

Eco-Fusion is envisioned as a high-impact, one-day engagement featuring innovation challenges, panel discussions, and solution design. By integrating sustainability with entrepreneurship, the partnership aims to demonstrate that environmental stewardship, when approached strategically, generates tangible value for children, institutions, and the broader Zambian economy.

  • ​5 Dimensions of Impact: The team adopted this comprehensive framework to holistically assess impact by asking the essential questions: What outcome is occurring, Who is experiencing it, How Much change is being created, the company’s Contribution, and the associated Risk.
  • ​Listening to Know What Works: A deep dive into authentic stakeholder engagement and needs analysis emphasized the importance of listening not just to confirm, but to know community priorities and co-design effective, locally relevant solutions.
    – ​Transparent Reporting: The final session provided practical guidance on reporting CSR with honesty and integrity, focusing on how to communicate results transparently while actively avoiding greenwashing—a commitment to truthful data and authentic progress.

​The two-day workshop has empowered the FQM Trident CSI team to redefine success, moving from outputs and activities to verifiable, sustainable community and business value.

in CSR / News  by CSRNZ Media 0 comments

Lusaka, Zambia – 24 September 2025 – The CSR Network Zambia, along with representatives from 20 leading corporates and civil society organizations, had the distinct privilege of touring the Eco Unit at Chilanga Cement.

Before embarking on the site tour, the event kicked off with insightful opening remarks that set the tone for the day. Delivering the opening address, Mr. Jonas Kaonga, Deputy Plant Manager, emphasized Chilanga Cement’s long-term vision for sustainable waste management.

“At Chilanga Cement, our environmental policy guides us to reduce the impact of climate change through the development, manufacture, and promotion of sustainable solutions. Last year alone, we invested K18 million into the ECO Unit, including the acquisition of a state-of-the-art shredder with a capacity of two tons per hour. This bold investment enhances our ability to manage non-recyclable plastic waste, one of the most persistent challenges in our communities, transforming it into valuable resources while keeping our environment clean,” he said.

Mr. Lee Muzala, CSR Network Zambia Executive Director, highlighted the social dimension of waste management, noting that waste should be viewed not as a problem but as an opportunity:
“Waste comes from every sector; households, offices, markets, and today it is becoming a valuable resource. For us in the CSR space, it presents an opportunity to innovate, collaborate, and contribute to building resilient communities and a sustainable country. Chilanga Cement, through the ECO Unit, has the machinery and processes in place to make this possible,” he said.

Partner organizations also shared testimonials, reaffirming the impact of Chilanga Cement’s waste management solutions. Zambia Sugar Plc, represented by Mr. Wiza Chaibela, commended the Chilanga Cement through ECO Unit partnership, which has enabled the safe disposal of over 60 tonnes of waste: “This collaboration reflects shared values for a greener Zambia. What matters is not just disposal but the assurance that our waste is treated in line with circular economy principles.”

The site visit offered participants a first-hand appreciation of Chilanga Cement’s innovative approach to waste disposal and energy recovery. Stakeholders were particularly impressed by the company’s significant investment in a state-of-the-art Shredder, valued at K18 million, with the capacity to shred 2 tonnes of waste per hour. This specialized equipment focuses solely on non-recyclable plastics, contaminated hazardous containers, and sensitive materials such as packaging waste and old uniforms from various companies, ensuring safe and efficient processing. The Eco Unit utilizes co-processing solutions, converting this waste into an alternative energy source for cement production.

This demonstration was a powerful testament to Chilanga Cement’s deep commitment to contributing to a cleaner, greener, and sustainable Zambia. Participants gained valuable insight into the rigorous, behind-the-scenes processes that make every bag of their cement a step towards a more sustainable industrial future.

The tour not only showcased environmental responsibility in action but also emphasized how industry leaders are tackling waste management challenges through innovation.

A huge thank you to the Eco Unit and the entire team at Chilanga Cement for hosting us and for sharing their vision for a circular economy in Zambia!

GATBRO “Protect Your Home” Campaign – A Step Towards a Malaria-Free Zambia

in CSR / News / Projects  by CSRNZ Media 0 comments

On December 11, 2024, CSR Network Zambia had the privilege of attending the launch of the “Protect Your Home” campaign by GATBRO International Limited, endorsed by the End Malaria Council and the Ministry of Health. This campaign, inaugurated by the Lusaka Province Permanent Secretary, Mr. Robert Kamalata, represents a significant stride towards combating malaria, one of Zambia’s most pressing public health challenges.

In his keynote speech, Mr. Kamalata recounted a personal experience of being protected from mosquitoes by GATBRO products during a trip to Mwamfushi in Kafue National Park. His heartfelt gratitude underscores the practical impact and critical need for effective malaria prevention tools.

The “Protect Your Home” campaign, spearheaded by GATBRO International Zambia in partnership with Tiger Brands, operates under the mantra: zero mosquitoes, zero malaria. Imran, the Sales & Marketing Director of GATBRO International Zambia, emphasized that the fight against malaria is not just a local issue but a national priority. By empowering communities across Lusaka Province and beyond, the campaign aims to create a malaria-free Zambia.

With endorsements from the Ministry of Health and the End Malaria Council, the campaign is set to roll out extensive awareness programs. These initiatives will reach clinics and rural communities, where the need for affordable malaria prevention tools is most acute. In her remarks, Magalie Ngomba, the Marketing and PR Manager of GATBRO International Zambia, highlighted that the campaign will target 160 clinics, focusing on empowering mothers to protect their families. By donating treated mosquito nets and Doom coils, GATBRO ensures that even the most vulnerable communities have access to essential prevention tools.

The real impact of the “Protect Your Home” campaign lies in its ability to save lives and improve community health. Malaria remains a significant threat, particularly in rural and high-density areas where access to preventive measures is limited. The campaign’s commitment to providing treated mosquito nets and Doom coils directly addresses this gap, offering practical solutions that families can rely on.

Beyond the distribution of prevention tools, the campaign also focuses on education. Awareness campaigns will help communities understand the importance of using mosquito nets and coils, how to effectively prevent mosquito breeding, and recognize the symptoms of malaria for early treatment. This holistic approach ensures that communities are not only equipped with tools but also with knowledge.

As World Malaria Day approaches, the “Protect Your Home” campaign serves as a call to action for all Zambians. It is a reminder that fighting malaria requires collective effort and sustained commitment. The campaign’s collaborative approach, involving government bodies, international partners, and local influencers like Esther Chungu and Michy, underscores the power of unity in tackling public health challenges.

The launch of the “Protect Your Home” campaign marks a significant milestone in Zambia’s fight against malaria. By focusing on practical, community-driven solutions and promoting collaboration across sectors, GATBRO International Limited and its partners are setting a powerful example of CSR in action. This campaign not only aims to reduce malaria incidence but also to empower communities with the tools and knowledge needed for lasting health improvements. As we continue to support and document such impactful initiatives, CSR Network Zambia remains committed to highlighting the transformative power of CSR in driving socio-economic development.
