The company’s strategy focuses on high-value projects that are expected to yield returns for shareholders while maintaining a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
The company’s shares are currently traded on the AQUIS Stock Exchange in London and A2X Markets in South Africa. Marula is also exploring the possibility of listing on Kenya’s Nairobi Securities Exchange and South Africa’s Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
