Mission & vision

Principle Energy intends to be a world-leading producer of low-cost ethanol.

Principle Energy believes that the production of ethanol from sugar cane is the most viable and profitable biofuel on a stand alone basis. Principle Energy is building a foundation to become a world leading low-cost producer of ethanol while generating economic growth and helping to alleviate poverty in the regions in which it operates.

Southern Africa has optimal growing conditions for sugar cane, the highest-energy large-scale feedstock currently available. With a favourable global marketplace for ethanol, Principle Energy aims to deliver exceptional returns to its investors, whilst upholding environmental, social and ethical standards.

To be a globally competitive renewable energy supplier, Principle Energy draws on its proprietary expertise in international biofuels markets and technology. It builds on its established history of investment management and its experience in forging successful new enterprises in Africa.
