Exploring the Environmental, Social, and Governance aspects at MAIIC.

At the Malawi Agricultural and Industrial Investment Corporation (MAIIC), we see sustainability as both a responsibility and a core part of our mission. As Malawi’s national Development Finance Institution (DFI), our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments are fully embedded in our investment, operations, and engagement strategies, fostering inclusive, responsible, and climate-resilient economic growth.

Message from the Acting Chief Executive Officer

“As a DFI, MAIIC is uniquely positioned to catalyse sustainable development across Malawi. Our ESG strategy reflects a firm commitment to building a resilient, equitable, and environmentally responsible future. We embed ESG into our operations and investment decisions, not only to manage risk but to unlock long-term value for communities and generations to come.”
— Mr. Lloyd Banda, Acting CEO

Our ESG Commitment
MAIIC’s ESG framework is grounded in three interconnected principles:

• Environmental Responsibility: We promote climate-smart investments, support renewable energy, and actively contribute to carbon sequestration through initiatives like tree planting and sustainable agriculture. We aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and preserve natural ecosystems.
• Social Inclusiveness: We empower communities through inclusive finance, support for women- and youth-led enterprises, and investments that create jobs and reduce poverty. Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts prioritise health, education, and entrepreneurship.
• Good Governance: We champion transparency, accountability, and ethical Leadership across all levels of our operations. MAIIC enforces strong anti-corruption and anti-bribery standards and ensures robust governance both internally and within our portfolio.

Why ESG Matters to MAIIC
At MAIIC, ESG is not just a framework; it is the foundation of how we define success. It enables us to:

• Build trust with stakeholders
• Strengthening risk management and institutional resilience
• Foster innovation and inclusive economic growth
• Align with Malawi Vision 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
