Linda in a few words
My name is Linda Ihuthia and I work in ESG and Sustainability through Catapult Africa. Businesses worldwide need to integrate sustainability reports into their financial reports and practices. I am here to work with you. Firstly, to understand where your business stands regarding your risks and opportunities within the sustainability agenda. I carry out ESG assessments, look at business models and strategies and work with you on integrating best practices to improve your business and attract like-minded investors and customers. I can carry out ESG due-diligence assessment on your behalf and, above this, work with your investee to integrate these frameworks into their business models and strategies.
Experience
  • Catapult Africa
    Managing Director | Principal Consultant - ESG and Sustainability
    January 2019 - Today (6 years and 4 months)
    Nairobi, Kenya
    At Catapult Africa we intentionally focus on two interlinked areas: ESG & Impact Investment and Documentation and Enterprise Development. Over the past 26 years, I have worked in financial institutions and social-profit organizations and successfully ran my own business. Africa needs greater leverage to increase and create greater tractions, have better reputational standing but also have roots in all our areas of focus – I can provide those skills through the above-mentioned areas. Under Catapult Africa, we strive to bring interested African businesses and organizations to understand the conversations, discussions and areas of engagement around these key focus areas. Not only having a seat at the table but ensuring that we are bringing the substantial technical skills needed, having a deep understanding regarding the conversations carried forward, incorporating diversity and inclusion, providing capacity building and preparing sustainability reports in accordance with TCFD Guidelines, GRI, SASB and IIRC standards and guidelines. This means influencing both local and global decision-making; being engaged in effective conversations that will bring about cohesion and clear focus in the future. This also means bringing about clarity as to how we look to establish posterity both for the continent and creating linkages - for the good of people and the planet. Whether you want to establish a new business and all the intricacies around that, are seeking an ESG Strategies Expert, or need to ensure that your Enterprise Documentation Processing is coherent, I can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]. I have the resources and networks to get you started and the passion to help you grow. #esg #impact investment #sustainability #enterprisedevelopment #documentation processing
