Africa Global Logistics’ sustainability strategy highlights how logistics companies are translating ESG commitments into tangible outcomes

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, March 19, 2026/APO Group/ –Africa Global Logistics (AGL) is positioning sustainability at the center of its operations across Africa – but the real value of its ESG performance is not in reporting frameworks but in the impact the company delivers on the ground. Through a strategy built around three pillars – enabling logistics decarbonization, fostering inclusive trade and addressing social challenges – the company is aligning its corporate commitments with the practical realities of operating across one of the world’s fastest-growing logistics markets.

 

As a Diamond Sponsor and Logistics Partner of African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies (AEW) 2026 – taking place October 12-16 in Cape Town – AGL will join governments, investors and industry leaders to explore how ESG strategies can translate into measurable economic and social outcomes across the continent. By bridging reporting and reality, the event offers companies the chance to demonstrate how ESG and local content goes beyond compliance to deliver impactful projects across the continent.

Africa’s energy future depends on strong infrastructure, resilient supply chains and responsible business practices

AGL’s CSR strategy is rooted in enabling logistics decarbonization and protecting the blue planet. Under this pillar, the company has committed to reducing emissions and environmental impact across the logistics sector. It’s latest sustainability report identified nine priority areas to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including the gradual replacement of fossil fuels with low-carbon energy as well as broader electrification. This commitment has already yielded tangible results. Two of the company’s depots in Zambia are fully powered by solar energy while 100% of the terminal equipment in Ivory Coast is electric. Up to 13 AGL-operated terminals have also been awarded ‘Green Terminal Status’ – in recognition of efforts undertaken by the company to support the energy transition and reduce emissions.

The company’s second sustainability pillar – fostering inclusive trade – is particularly relevant in Africa, where logistics infrastructure remains a major barrier to economic integration. The company has committed to addressing this challenge, with outcomes already evident. AGL is developing and operating more than 40 logistics corridors and 66 dry ports across the continent, connecting inland production basins to export markets and domestic consumption centers. These include the launch of the Kribi Industrial Zone (KPIZ) in Cameroon in March 2026 – a 520 billion FCFA project featuring vital infrastructure networks such as transport, energy, water and telecommunications. The company also operates the Lobito Corridor Terminal – an export facility linking the Lobito Railway to international markets.

“Africa’s energy future depends on strong infrastructure, resilient supply chains and responsible business practices. Companies like AGL are helping shape that future by investing in logistics systems that support trade, create opportunities for communities and reduce environmental impact. The company’s sustainability strategy reflects a broader commitment to ESG – moving beyond compliance to delivery,” said NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber.

AGL’s third pillar – addressing social challenges – showcases a commitment to capacity building and workforce development. The company aligns its policies with international frameworks such as the UN Global Compact and has introduced initiatives aimed at strengthening entrepreneurship and youth innovation across Africa. One example is a hackathon initiative launched in Ivory Coast with the MSC Foundation and the Horn Foundation, designed to support young entrepreneurs working on solutions for sustainable development and logistics challenges. The company also partnered with the French African Foundation in 2024 to identify and support a new generation of committed African and French talents and leaders who are creating a positive and lasting impact.

As AGL’s sustainability strategy continues to take shape across the continent, platforms such as AEW: Invest in African Energies 2026 will play a key role in accelerating the shift from ESG reporting to tangible impact. Convening policymakers, operators and service companies across the energy and logistics chains, the event provides a platform to align sustainability frameworks with Africa’s developmental priorities.

The Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority will host operators, investors and partners in Houston on August 19 to preview future licensing opportunities and showcase the exploration potential of its offshore basins

HOUSTON, United States of America, August 7, 2026/APO Group/ –The Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority (LPRA) will present its strategy for the country’s next offshore licensing round at Liberia Investor Day Houston on August 19, bringing together international exploration companies, investors, service providers and energy leaders to discuss the next phase of Liberia’s upstream development.

Hosted in partnership with Energy Capital & Power, the event will provide a platform for the LPRA, led by Director General Hon. Marilyn T. Logan, to outline Liberia’s regulatory framework, investment priorities and plans to attract new participation across the country’s offshore sector. Discussions will focus on upcoming licensing opportunities, exploration prospects and the subsurface data supporting future investment decisions.

Liberia’s offshore sector is entering a new phase of exploration activity, with renewed international participation and a growing pipeline of opportunities. Following the award and ratification of eight Production Sharing Contracts in 2025, Liberia has re-established itself as a frontier exploration destination, with international operators advancing work programs designed to further evaluate the country’s petroleum potential. TotalEnergies is progressing exploration activities that include offshore geochemical surveys, 3D seismic acquisition and seabed mapping, while Oranto Petroleum has also signed contracts to explore Liberia’s offshore.

At the Liberia Investor Day Houston, the LPRA will provide industry stakeholders with insight into the priorities shaping the next licensing round, including the anticipated process, qualification requirements, available acreage and access to technical data. The engagement will give prospective investors a clearer view of Liberia’s exploration landscape and the opportunities emerging across its offshore basins.

The event will also facilitate direct dialogue between LPRA and the global upstream community, connecting companies with policymakers and industry stakeholders involved in shaping Liberia’s next chapter of petroleum development.

As exploration companies continue to seek new frontier opportunities, Liberia Investor Day Houston will highlight the role of regulatory certainty, data availability and strategic partnerships in unlocking long-term investment across Liberia’s offshore sector.

Registration is now open for attendees. Companies interested in Liberia’s emerging offshore opportunities are invited to join LPRA, investors and upstream leaders in Houston for insights into the country’s licensing strategy and exploration outlook. For more information contact info@energycapitalpower.com.

Beyond Stabroek: Guyana’s Offshore Basin Attracts New Wave of Exploration Investment

Published

As ExxonMobil advances appraisal activity in Stabroek and new operators target frontier acreage, Guyana is attracting global capital and building a diversified offshore portfolio designed to sustain long-term growth

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, August 7, 2026/APO Group/ –Guyana’s transformation into one of the world’s fastest-growing oil producers is entering a new phase, with a growing network of IOCs expanding exploration activity across the country’s offshore basin. Beyond the landmark discoveries that first put Guyana on the global energy map, new drilling campaigns and licensing partnerships are creating a broader exploration ecosystem designed to support long-term production growth.

At the center of this momentum is ExxonMobil’s continued exploration and appraisal activity in the prolific Stabroek Block. The company has submitted a proposal for a 35-well exploration and appraisal drilling campaign, expected to run from 2028 through 2033, pending regulatory approval. The program would build on more than 30 commercial discoveries already made in the block, with drilling activity focused on evaluating new prospects and appraising existing discoveries to support future development opportunities.

Exploration activity is also extending into Guyana’s frontier acreage, with ExxonMobil advancing drilling operations at the deepwater Canje Block. The company has deployed the Noble Stena Carron drillship for exploration activity, highlighting continued industry interest in evaluating Guyana’s underexplored offshore potential beyond the established Stabroek Block.

Guyana’s strong exploration outlook comes as the country’s economy continues to benefit from rapid oil sector expansion, with hydrocarbons expected to remain a key driver of exports, government revenues and economic growth. As production scales up, attracting additional investment across exploration, services and infrastructure will be critical to supporting the next phase of development.

That momentum is being reinforced through partnerships established under Guyana’s 2023 offshore licensing round. A consortium comprising TotalEnergies, QatarEnergy and Petronas is advancing exploration activities in Block S4 under a five-year production sharing agreement signed with the government in late 2025. The award represents one of the first major outcomes of the licensing round and demonstrates continued international confidence in Guyana’s offshore resource potential.

Beyond the largest operators, a diverse group of companies is also expanding activity across Guyana’s offshore basin. Eco Atlantic is advancing exploration at the Orinduik Block; CGX Energy and Frontera Energy are progressing work in the Corentyne Block; Occidental is evaluating opportunities in the Roraima Block; while Ratio Guyana and Cataleya Energy hold interests in the Kaieteur Block. Together, these partnerships are broadening Guyana’s exploration landscape, increasing competition for acreage and creating opportunities for future discoveries.

As Guyana transitions from an emerging producer to a global energy hub, the next challenge will be converting exploration success into sustainable investment, local value creation and regional growth. These opportunities will be explored at Caribbean Energy Week 2027, held under the theme “Unlocking the Caribbean Energy Corridor: Oil, Gas, LNG & Investment for a New Global Hub.” Bringing together governments, IOCs, investors and technology providers, the event will examine how Guyana’s expanding partnerships can accelerate offshore development, strengthen regional energy cooperation and attract the capital needed to support the Caribbean’s evolving energy landscape.
