About Us

Leadership and Governance

Leadership Philosophy

The Diakite Group is led by a diverse, multi-disciplinary team of experts with deep regional knowledge and global experience. Our leadership is committed to a decentralized operational model that empowers local management while upholding centralized standards for governance, financial reporting, and risk management. We prioritize sustainable value creation over short-term returns.

Governance Structure

Our Board of Directors is composed of independent non-executive directors who provide strategic oversight, ensuring alignment with our mission of ethical and responsible growth.

Visionary Stewardship

Our decentralized operational model empowers local management teams across all five West African markets while maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance, financial transparency, and risk management at the group level. This approach ensures both agility and accountability.

Sustainability and ESG Commitment

Sustainability is not an appendage to our strategy; it is the core of our operations. The Diakite Group of Companies is committed to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance across all six sectors.

Environmental

Building Better, Sustaining Tomorrow

We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint in transport and Oil & Gas operations, utilizing renewable energy in our facilities, and prioritizing site rehabilitation in our Mining and Engineering projects. Every project is designed with long-term environmental stewardship in mind.

Social

Empowering Communities and People

We focus on empowering local communities through targeted infrastructure development, job creation with preference for local talent, and investments in education and healthcare infrastructure adjacent to our project sites. Our success is measured by the positive impact we create in the communities where we operate.

Governance

Uncompromising Ethical Standards

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for corruption, implementing regular external audits, and adhering to strict anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) protocols across all subsidiaries, particularly in highly regulated jurisdictions like Benin and Nigeria.
