Romco is committed to building Africa into a powerhouse of sustainability. Not only do we do that by reducing our environmental impact, but also by being socially responsible and by working with world-class governance standards.

Romco CEO & Founder on Sustainability and ESG:

“Irresponsible attitudes and practices have no place in the future’s sustainable market. The “dinosaurs” need to adapt. Global climate commitments, pacts, governmental policies, and sustainable goals are forcing corporations to become more “eco” or face increased taxes, levies, and/or fines. Investors are favouring ESG-aligned companies. Consumers are more aware of what they’re buying. Natural spaces and resources are being cleared at a never-before-seen rate to meet an ever-increasing demand. More carbon dioxide is being pumped into the atmosphere as record-high temperatures are being witnessed around the globe. Scrutiny is being placed on the origins of our resources as dependency on authoritarian governments is creating havoc on our utilities and commodities markets.

These are big problems being created by our way of life. If little changes it will get worse.

At Romco, we’re working to slow the depletion of the Earth’s remaining bauxite and mineral resources by expanding our metal recycling capacity. We are reducing carbon emissions for resources needed for the green transition by as much as 95%. Our work reduces reliance on the Earth’s resources by recycling what we already have and clearing significant areas of landfill while doing so. We replace a dirty production process with a far cleaner one, and we utilise natural supply links, which protects us against high supply chain volatility.”
