Our Founder & CEO, Dr. Kuzi Charamba, joined a powerhouse panel alongside Mary Nantume (Pearl Capital Partners), Atieno Otonglo (GSG Impact), Susan Wanjiku W. (GIZ SPARK), and moderator Andreas Bernhardt, to unpack how to fund Africa’s Green Industrial Revolution and ensure SMEs can access the capital, data, and partnerships they need to thrive. In his breakout session, Kuzi dived deeper into how technology combined with credible ESG data, and cross-sector collaboration can unlock investor trust and make sustainable finance truly scalable across the continent.

💡 Mandatory ESG reporting: burden or advantage? That’s the choice facing UK businesses today, and the tide is turning. 📊 Two-thirds of UK firms now say they support mandatory ESG reporting under global standards (Bloomberg Tax, July 2025). For years, disclosure was seen as a cost. Now it’s becoming the baseline for investor trust and growth. For financial institutions, this changes the game: ⚫ ESG data will soon be table stakes in client assessments. ⚫ Firms that can verify and standardise ESG metrics quickly will build trust faster. ⚫ Those that lag will face inconsistent disclosures and higher due-diligence costs. At Tese.io, we help FIs move beyond fragmented data, standardising inputs, ensuring audit-ready ESG reports, and turning compliance into a growth driver. 👉 The question isn’t IF mandatory ESG reporting is coming. It’s: Are you ready to leverage it as an advantage? #Teseio #ESGReporting #SustainableFinance #UKBusiness #FinancialInstitutions

Last week, our team Dr. Kuzi Charamba, Sushil Singh, and Dakarai Mshoperi, joined peers at the Global SME Finance Forum 2025 in Johannesburg. The conversations reinforced what drives us at Tese.io: 🔎 Data remains the biggest bottleneck in SME sustainable finance. From costly verification processes to the absence of centralized data systems, SMEs across developing markets face barriers that prevent them from accessing fair credit. ⚡ Innovation is showing the way forward. Brazil’s integration of real-time satellite monitoring into loan portfolios (via MapBiomas) shows what’s possible when technology, finance, and sustainability are designed together. 🌍 The global community is mobilising. From OECD - OCDE’s SME-focused ESG reporting framework to the United Nations's Climate Champions’ Climate Finance Sprint, the focus is shifting to tools that balance ambition with SME realities. At Tese.io, these takeaways only strengthen our commitment: to make sustainability practical, measurable, and financeable for SMEs and financial institutions. Excited to continue these conversations on the road to COP30 Brazil. #SMEFinance #SustainableFinance #ESGData #ImpactInvesting #GlobalSMEFinanceForum #Teseio
