One of the country’s leading sustainability professionals Edward Mungai has been awarded with a doctorate degree at Strathmore Business School.
Dr Mungai is the CEO of Kenya Climate Innovation Centre (KCIC) Group.
The PhD is the first from the business school on sustainability.
KCIC Group incorporates Kenya Climate Ventures, KCIC Consulting and Centre for Governance and Sustainability.
The organisation provides funding for enterprises creating innovative climate change solutions towards sustainable business. Dr Mungai, who teaches at Strathmore University, said the PhD will allow him to teach, coach and research more on the area.
‘‘The degree reaffirms our position as leaders in business sustainability in Kenya and Africa while reemphasising our commitment towards realising sustainable development,’’ Dr Mungai said.
The company started in 2012 and focuses on water management, agribusiness, commercial forestry circular economy (waste management for profits) and renewable energy.
‘‘Agriculture is the easiest way to put money into people’s pockets. We must emphasise on not just primary production of crops but also value addition for better profits for all players in the chain,’’ Dr Mungai said.
