Blue sky thinking that's creating a greener Africa for all

Creating a sustainable future for mining in Africa

Africa’s mining sector is not only a significant contributor to the economy but is known for its abundance of investment opportunities due to the continent’s wealth of minerals and natural resources. While the industry may have its set of challenges, it also has the potential to unlock unparalleled levels of economic growth. 

In an effort to support platforms that drive necessary conversation about the evolution of this sector, we  were  an official sponsor of the African Mining Indaba, which took  place at Cape Town International Convention Centre from 6 to 9 February 2023.

Africa Mining Indaba 2023

At Standard Bank, we have consistently provided funding for various mining projects, supported clients across the value chain with their growth ambitions and encouraged them to embrace more sustainable ways of operating. We have leveraged our sector insights and expertise to promote innovative solutions that will not only contribute to the growth of the sector but also add value to the communities that these companies operate in.

Our efforts towards driving a just energy transition included partnering with Seriti to facilitate their acquisition of wind-powered renewable energy company Windlab Africa, as well as partnering with Tronox Holdings in their construction of a 200MW solar powerplant to support its mining operations in South Africa. Both transactions will ensure that the companies reduce their carbon emissions and create accessible and affordable renewable electricity. 

As a leading African bank that provides innovative financing solutions for clients in the mining sector, we look forward to adding our voice to the conversation and playing our part to drive sustainable growth in the sector.
