Kongiwe

Founded in 2016, Kongiwe is a contemporary consultancy with the purpose ‘To solve environmental and social challenges by providing expert bespoke solutions that promote current and future sustainability globally’. Headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, and with offices in the mining and finance hubs of the United Kingdom and Canada, our team of professional Environmental and Social Scientists are highly trained in various environmental disciplines and have significant, hands-on experience in an array of projects across various industries, with the ability to execute specialist services quickly and efficiently across Africa. With a unique client-centric focus and rigorous quality control processes we are proud that most of our clients are repeat clients. This has led to long term relationships where we are considered trusted partners in our client’s sustainability journey. Our experience includes large scale and extraordinarily complex mining projects with significant environmental and social impacts. This project experience combines legislated permitting and licencing functions with ESG and Impact advisory services and is undertaken within a complex social backdrop. We specialise in using the latest Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing techniques to establish a holistic understanding of the environment in which our projects occur, and we approach our projects from an alternative viewpoint enabling us to establish alternative thinking patterns and deductive techniques to maximise desired outcomes. We have experience on “both sides of the table” and actively engage lenders. This has developed a practical approach to our advisory service which is sensitive to the commercial aspects impacting the projects we work on.
