Kasi Insight, Africa’s leading decision intelligence platform, in partnership with Capital One Group (COG EA Ltd), a strategic marketing communications agency, has launched a pioneering survey to assess the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices among organizations in Uganda.
Operating across over 21 of Africa’s most dynamic markets, Kasi Insight brings deep research expertise to this initiative, while Capital One Group builds on its recent momentum in advancing ESG dialogue, including hosting the inaugural 2025 ESG Summit in June.
That summit convened corporate leaders and professionals to share strategies, launch Uganda’s 2025 ESG Research Report, and deliver expert-led masterclasses on sustainable business transformation.
The newly launched survey aims to examine how Ugandan businesses are implementing ESG frameworks, what challenges they face, and how their evolving priorities can shape a resilient and sustainable business environment.
The timing of the survey is critical. As ESG regulations become increasingly rigorous both within Africa and globally, organizations that fail to integrate ESG into their core strategies risk falling behind in compliance, competitiveness, and trust-building.
By collecting data from organizations across sectors, the survey seeks to highlight not only current ESG commitments but also how businesses are aligning with broader sustainable development goals. The findings will serve as a guiding tool for companies and policymakers alike.
In a joint statement, Ernest Ssekisonge, Managing Director of Kasi Insight, and Paul Mwirigi Muriungi, Managing Director and Head of Strategy at Capital One Group, emphasized the importance of this initiative.
“We believe that by understanding the ESG landscape in Uganda, companies will gain the insights needed to address sustainability challenges and seize emerging opportunities. Uganda has not yet had a comprehensive review of ESG initiatives that reflects a real commitment to shared value creation and sustainable economic growth. Through this research, we aim to fill that gap and offer our clients actionable intelligence to support long-term value creation. At Kasi Insight and Capital One Group, we are committed to helping organizations remain a positive force in the communities they serve, even as the world around them evolves.”
The survey is being technically led by Kasi Insight, known for its ability to deliver real-time, aggregated, and trended data across Africa—offering businesses unparalleled access to insights that traditional market research struggles to match.
The results of the survey will be unveiled at an ESG Awards Ceremony scheduled for Wednesday, October 22, 2025, where top-performing organizations and key insights will be recognized.
Concluding the joint statement, Ssekisonge and Muriungi noted:
“To drive value creation, ensure long-term sustainability, and positively impact all stakeholders, ESG must be fully embedded into business operations. Compliance with regulatory standards is not just a legal obligation—it’s a cornerstone for building trust and safeguarding reputation.”
This research initiative is expected to play a significant role in accelerating ESG adoption across Uganda, positioning businesses to lead responsibly in a rapidly changing world.
