This selection of large environmental services companies in Africa includes government administrations and facilities services firms. Many focus on water management, such as ONEE-Branche Eau, which plans and distributes clean water, and Johannesburg Water, providing water and wastewater services. Lydec manages electricity and water distribution in Greater Casablanca, while SEAAL provides clean water in Algeria. EnviroServ Waste Management offers solutions for hazardous and non-hazardous waste. Bidvest Steiner provides integrated hygiene solutions.
Most of these firms are large groups, with significant employee numbers. A notable pattern is the strong presence of South African entities, including City of Cape Town and eThekwini Municipality, alongside companies from North Africa like HCWW in Cairo and Holcim El-Djazaïr in Alger. The activities span municipal services, infrastructure, and specialized waste and hygiene management.

Tamtam finds the decision-makers at every company on a list like this one, with verified emails, phone numbers and the buying signals that tell you when to reach out.
How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
