Overview
CEOrt is committed to contributing to the country’s Climate Agenda by engaging its members in three core areas: Sustainable Finance, Access to the Market, and Business Performance. CEOrt’s vision under the climate agenda is that 30% of CEOrt members have started the journey to carbon neutrality by 2030.
The Government of Tanzania has committed to targeting 30–40% carbon reduction by 2030 — and the private sector has a decisive role to play in getting there.
“In decarbonizing our economies, there is definitely an opportunity for business leaders to drive the climate change agenda by prioritizing environmental impacts.”
Three core engagement areas
Sustainable Finance
Helping members understand what qualifies as a green initiative, structure investment-ready proposals and unlock capital for climate-aligned growth.
Access to the Market
Positioning Tanzanian businesses to retain market access as global supply chains, funders and customers raise their climate expectations.
Business Performance
Demonstrating that the low-carbon transition drives efficiency, innovation and operational excellence — not just compliance.
