Empresa Publica De Aguas de Luanda (EPAL), founded in 2000, is the largest water utilities company in Luanda, Angola. The company is government owned and provides water services to approximately 7 million customers in the Sub-Saharan Africa region.
Summary
EPAL has scored zero in all five measurement areas and therefore ranks at the bottom of the benchmark, together with other zero-scoring companies. Given its significant scale and influence, EPAL has the potential to contribute significantly to shaping sustainable urban environments. However, its lack of disclosure on key sustainability topics makes it difficult to understand and evaluate its impact on people and the planet. This lack of transparency makes the company vulnerable to environmental and social risks, diminished investor and stakeholder trust and misalignment with regulatory requirements. Moreover, it places the company at a disadvantage compared to its peers, affecting its overall competitiveness.
To foster transparency and positive change, EPAL should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities in a materiality assessment and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy. It should also assign clear responsibility for strategy oversight to the highest governing body, such as the board of directors. Furthermore, EPAL should establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting progress against its sustainability goals. Finally, the company should develop public policy commitments to respect fundamental human and labour rights.
