Welcome to the Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference and Expo
The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo 2026, taking place 30 September – 1 October 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, is Africa’s leading executive platform dedicated to the business and economics of sustainability.
In 2026, the sustainability conversation has fundamentally shifted. No longer driven by compliance, reporting frameworks, or reputational positioning, sustainability is now judged by its ability to drive profitability, resilience, capital access, and long-term enterprise value.
African organisations are being forced to answer a far more direct question:
Does sustainability make business sense?
Sustainability & ESG Africa 2026 exists to answer that question—practically, commercially, and credibly.
Because sustainability is no longer a parallel agenda, it is the economics of modern business.
