Catch the rebroadcast of ITS AFRICAS TIME Season 1 Episode 3 on Saturday 18 October at 12:00pm WAT on WE TV Nigeria, with a repeat at 11:00pm WAT. In Episode 3, we look at sustainability and climate change, which poses risks to industry, but it also presents opportunities for the development of new products, markets, and competitive advantages inherent in the low-carbon economy. Oceana Oceana’s commitment to sustainability spans the scope of its operations. “IT’S AFRICA’S TIME” looks at the company’s participation in the WWF Responsible Fisheries Alliance and the impact this alliance has on the management of depleting marine resources. We also visit Oceana’s largest ship, The Desert Diamond, to investigate the company’s transformation journey through training and skills development as part of its South Africanisation programme, as well as its commitment to black economic empowerment through employee ownership and the Khula trust. We then travel to Lamberts Bay to learn about the impacts of Oceanas community engagement through the local French fry factory. Exxaro “IT’S AFRICA’S TIME” visits the Exxaro Grootegeluk mine to discuss the company’s commitment to water conservation as part of its greater sustainability strategy, and to take a look at how the organization’s civil engineering, excavation and construction efforts focus on storing and re-using process water. We learn about the Grootegeluk Medupi Expansion Project that has been commissioned to exclusively supply coal to Eskom’s new Medupi power station and review the extensive eco efficient processes being integrated in its construction. We also look at Exxaro’s commitment to communities surrounding their operations and visit the Boitlamo Brick Factory to meet some of the beneficiaries and stakeholders. Altius The core businesses of Altius are engaged in the essentials of life: energy, water and food. “IT’S AFRICA’S TIME” reports on NuWater, a subsidiary of Altius holdings, and reviews its innovative 16 inch reverse osmosis technology and the impact that this water cleaning technology has on the Anglo Thermal Coal New Vaal Colliery and that of its surrounding environment. We also visit the Cape Town Market, another Altius subsidiary to discuss sustainable management of natural resources and to see how this market is contributing towards facilitating ethical best practice in the South African food commodities sector, for farmers and consumers alike. “IT’S AFRICA’S TIME” is produced by Regency Foundation Networx in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP. itsafricastime.org
