Project Period: November 2025 – April 2026
Project Description: I&S Action Plan and ESMS Development
Nile Fresh is one of South Africa’s most dynamic agri-ecommerce companies – a fast-growing B2B platform connecting farmers, suppliers and buyers across Southern Africa and reshaping agricultural trade. As expectations around human rights, food safety, labour practices, environmental stewardship and data protection are increasing rapidly and the business scaled its warehousing and logistics operations, Nile recognised the need for stronger ESG foundations to manage risk and support sustainable growth.
Six Capitals partnered with Nile to conduct an ESG Risk Review and Gap Analysis, benchmarked against IFC Performance Standards and global best practice. We then developed a prioritised I&S Action Plan and began designing a full Environmental & Social Management System (ESMS). This work now positions Nile to scale responsibly; with stronger governance, better risk visibility, and a clear path to long-term resilience.
