ESG Commitment

Project SHIELD (Solar Hospital Innovation for Energy Leasing Demonstrator) strongly aligns with multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through its mission to solarise every large hospital in Africa. By providing reliable, clean energy, SHIELD directly supports SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by ensuring uninterrupted healthcare delivery and enabling hospitals to redirect savings into medical services. SHIELD’s use of solar energy solutions addresses SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), making sustainable power accessible and reducing reliance on polluting diesel generators. Furthermore, by reducing many tons of CO₂ emissions annually per hospital, SHIELD advances SDG 13 (Climate Action). Our innovative financing models and digital IREC system promote SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), enabling hospitals to overcome financial barriers to green technology. By targeting underserved health systems in sub-Saharan Africa, SHIELD supports SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
