The Living Network

Emeraldsand Platforms is more than a company; it is Namibia’s Living Network. Proudly 100% Namibian-owned, ESP has become a cornerstone of empowerment, connecting communities and multiplying opportunities across the nation. With over 80% of its shareholding held by previously disadvantaged Namibians – employees, management and community trusts – ESP ensures that the value it creates flows directly back into the lives of its people.

Through a dynamic portfolio of more than 30 Namibian companies, ESP reaches over 2 million people daily via digital platforms, print, social media, television (NTV), newsletters, and websites. Its reach reflects not only scale, but also diversity, bridging urban and rural communities, empowering local voices, and giving every Namibian the platform to be heard.

By fostering dialogue across generations and cultures, ESP strengthens national identity and unity in a rapidly evolving digital age. Over the past five years, ESP has invested more than N$100 million into social development, working hand in hand with government, business, and civil society.

A central focus has been eradicating educational poverty. Literacy campaigns have touched over one million Namibian children, with more than 15 million books distributed through partnerships with the Namibian Government, FNB Foundation, Capricorn Foundation, Power Line Africa, and Shoprite.

ESP is the Living Network of Namibia: built by Namibians, for Namibians. It connects, multiplies and empowers, championing youth and community to shape a literate, informed, and equitable future.
