WHO WE ARE
Exclusively environmental. Deeply experienced.
Digby Wells Environmental is a multidisciplinary, employee-owned consultancy delivering environmental and social solutions across Africa and beyond.
We partner with mining, oil & gas, infrastructure, renewable energy and agriculture clients to reduce risk, accelerate permitting, and build enduring stakeholder value.
Our in country teams combine local regulatory fluency with global standards (IFC, World Bank, Equator Principles), ensuring defensible science, pragmatic implementation, and measurable outcomes throughout the project lifecycle.

ESG APPROACH
From requirements to results
ESG is only effective when it connects the boardroom to the pit and the community. We align national laws with international frameworks (IFC PS, Equator Principles, ISSB/GRI/SASB, TCFD/TNFD), then design programmes that teams can implement, measure and report on consistently. The result: fewer surprises, stronger lender confidence, better ratings, and genuine social licence.
