Increasing Yield & Reducing Energy Losses in an Ammonia Production Plant
- Fertilizer Production

- North Africa
Embedding ESG Governance in a Multinational Fertilizer Company’s Core Operations
- Fertilizer Production
- Publicly listed fertilizer producer with operations across Africa and the Middle East
- Embedding ESG governance and improving sustainability reporting and performance
Obstacles Our Experts Have Transformed into Opportunities
A publicly traded fertilizer company with facilities across Africa and the Middle East was facing growing pressure from investors and international customers to strengthen its sustainability practices:
Disjointed ESG Reporting
ESG reporting was limited to head office disclosures, disconnected from plant-level activities
Missing ESG Performance Metrics
Environmental and energy KPIs were tracked inconsistently or not at all
No Unified ESG Governance
Multiple sites operated with different standards, with no shared sustainability governance model
Lost Green Finance Eligibility
The company had missed eligibility for a green financing opportunity due to lack of traceable ESG performance
ESG Seen as Corporate Only
Mid-level managers and plant leaders saw ESG as “corporate responsibility” rather than something operational
No ESG Integration Framework
They didn’t lack ambition—they lacked structure, systems, and alignment
