Dear
Mr. Levenberg:
ESGL
Holdings Limited (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) hereby
transmits our response to the comment letter received by us from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “Commission”), dated April 17, 2023, regarding the Company’s Amendment No. 2 to Registration
Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) previously filed with the Commission on March 27, 2023.
For
the Staff’s convenience, we have repeated below the Staff’s comments in bold, and have followed each comment with the Company’s
response. Changes to the Registration Statement based on the Staff’s comments are reflected in Amendment No. 3 to the Registration
Statement (the “Amendment”) which is being filed with the Commission concurrently with the submission of this letter.

Factors
Certain
judgments obtained against PubCo by PubCo’s shareholders may not be enforceable, page 46
1.
We
note your disclosure that after the Business Combination, all of PubCo’s senior executive officers will reside outside the
United States. If applicable, please identify the officers, directors, or director nominees of PubCo who reside in China or Hong
Kong and disclose that it will be more difficult to enforce liabilities and enforce judgments on those individuals. For example,
if applicable, revise to discuss more specifically the limitations on investors being able to effect service of process and enforce
civil liabilities in China, lack of reciprocity and treaties, and cost and time constraints.
RESPONSE:
The Company has added disclosure on page 46 of the Amendment in response to the Staff’s comment.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Capitalization, page 131

You
disclose that included in the shares outstanding in your pro forma condensed financial statements are 6,719,642 PubCo ordinary shares
to be issued to ESGL shareholders in connection with the merger agreement. You also disclose that these shares represent 7,500,000
shares less adjustments stipulated in the merger agreement. Please further describe these share adjustments, how they were calculated
and explain why the shares issued to ESGL shareholders in the pro forma financial statements are not consistent with their ownership
amounts presented in the table disclosed at page 25.
RESPONSE:
The Company has revised the disclosure on pages 16, 25, 79, 81, 131 and other applicable sections of the Amendment in response to the
Staff’s comment.
