ER Group joins the SEM Sustainability Index

As of 13 February 2026, ER Group has been included in the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Sustainability Index (SEMSI), with an overall integrated sustainability score of 78.91%.
 

SEMSI is a benchmark that evaluates listed companies on ESG performance, and this inclusion reinforces the Group’s position as a reference issuer in Mauritius for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The SEMSI Supervisory Committee subjects each applicant to an independent assessment of its economic, social and environmental performance. Eligibility criteria are based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines, adapted to the Mauritian context.

A milestone built on strong foundations
 

The score of 78.91% achieved by ER reflects the strength of the Group’s governance framework, the clarity of its commitments to social responsibility, and the progress of its environmental actions across its operations. It also demonstrates ER Group’s ability to monitor and measure non-financial performance with the same level of rigour as its economic performance.
 

Formed in July 2025 through the merger of Rogers and ENL, two leading groups in Mauritius, ER Group builds on an ESG approach that has been in place for several years.  Rogers joined the SEMSI in 2015 and ENL in 2022, with commitments reflected both in strategy and in on-the-ground actions. ER Group now consolidates these commitments under a single governance structure, with shared priorities, common indicators, and strengthened implementation across all the subsidiaries.
 

Sustainability and ethical framework in action
 

These actions are guided by ER Group's sustainability framework built on six pillars spanning Climate Resilience (energy transition, circular economy, biodiversity) and Social Inclusion (inclusive development, vibrant communities, diversity and inclusion).
 

Among the recent projects, ER Group has recently completed its first Climate and Biodiversity Footprint Assessment with Carbone 4, a consultancy specialising in assessing climate and biodiversity-related risks. The assessment helped identify key risks and set priorities for action. This work complements an energy efficiency programme already underway across the Group’s operating subsidiaries, with 11 entities having completed energy audits and defined improvement roadmaps.
 

ER Agri is rolling out its EcoHaven project, a biodiversity restoration initiative in Moka, in partnership with the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation. The project forms part of the Varuna Biodiversity Programme, led by Expertise France and funded by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
 

From a social and governance perspective, the merger of the ENL Foundation and the Rogers Foundation resulted in the creation of the ER Foundation, focused on social inclusion and climate resilience. In parallel, the Group strengthened its ethics framework with the launch of “Speak Up”, a reporting platform that enables employees and partners to confidentially raise any situation that may be contrary to the Group’s ethical principles.

Alignment with the long-term strategy
 

More broadly, ER Group is strengthening the alignment of its ESG governance across all subsidiaries by continuing to deploy common KPIs and measurable targets consistent with market standards.
 

ER Group’s entry into the SEMSI is aligned with the Group’s ten-year strategic plan, underpinned by operational discipline, sustainable value creation, and structured engagement with stakeholders. It also strengthens ER Group’s visibility among local and international investors, at a time when ESG considerations are playing an increasingly important role in investment decision-making.
