An SDG Pioneer for Investing in Stakeholder Empowerment

Jane Waiyaki-Maina is a passionate sustainability advocate who believes that each person has a role to play in securing the future for the next generation.  

In her role as Head of Sustainability and Responsible Business at Absa Bank Kenya, Jane and her team used a year of corporate transition to craft a fully-fledged sustainability strategy that will deliver precise outputs to support many of the Global Goals and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact.  

Jane leads targeted initiatives that have helped rally the involvement of both internal and external stakeholders on the Bank’s corporate commitments to be a force for good. She continues to empower the Bank’s supply chain and staff to understand that building a resilient business is where people, planet and profits intersect without one progressing at the expense of the other.
