About us

The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo returns in 2026 stronger, sharper, and more impactful than ever before. Now firmly established as Africa’s leading platform for sustainability and ESG, the event continues to set the benchmark for meaningful dialogue, actionable insight, and real-world impact across the continent.

Taking place from 30 September – 01 October 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, this year’s edition will bring together the continent’s most influential voices — from business leaders and policymakers to investors, innovators, and sustainability practitioners — all driving the transition toward a more resilient and responsible future.

More than just a conference, this is where strategy meets execution.

This year’s experience is further enriched through:

• A prestigious ESG Awards Programme, recognising excellence and leadership across the continent
• A Student Innovation Programme, spotlighting the next generation of sustainability leaders
• High-value networking and collaboration opportunities that drive partnerships and business outcomes

 

Beyond the flagship event, Sustainability & ESG Africa continues to build a year-round ecosystem through targeted engagements, including webinars, executive forums such as the CSO Forum, and a growing Community of Practice (COP) — all designed to keep the conversation active and impactful throughout the year.

At its core, the conference is driven by a powerful belief:

Africa is not just participating in the global sustainability movement — it is uniquely positioned to lead it.

With sustainability deeply rooted in African heritage, culture, and respect for natural systems, the continent holds both the responsibility and the opportunity to shape a globally relevant, locally grounded ESG narrative.

 

Sustainability & ESG Africa exists to accelerate that journey — by creating a platform where ideas turn into action, connections turn into partnerships, and ambition turns into measurable impact.
