About us

The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo returns in 2027, bringing together Africa’s sustainability and ESG community to accelerate progress, unlock opportunities and turn ambition into action. As a leading platform for sustainability and ESG on the continent, the event will continue to champion meaningful dialogue, practical insights and real-world impact across African industries.

Taking place on 6–7 October 2027, the conference will unite influential business leaders, policymakers, investors, innovators, sustainability professionals and solution providers to explore the challenges and opportunities shaping Africa’s transition towards a more resilient, responsible and sustainable future.

More than just a conference, this is where strategy meets execution, innovation meets opportunity, and connections create impact.

The 2027 experience will feature:

• Inspiring Conference Sessions: Hear from industry leaders and experts exploring emerging trends, practical solutions and the future of sustainability and ESG in Africa.

• Sector Breakout Sessions: Engage in focused discussions on industry-specific challenges, opportunities and approaches to implementation.

• The Sustainability Solutions Expo: Discover innovative products, technologies, services and solutions that can help organisations advance their sustainability objectives.

• The Beyond Awards: Celebrate the organisations, projects and individuals demonstrating excellence, leadership and innovation in sustainability and ESG.

• The Student Innovation Competition: Discover the next generation of African changemakers developing creative solutions to real-world sustainability challenges.

• High-Value Networking: Connect with decision-makers, potential partners, investors and sustainability professionals from across the continent.

• Knowledge Sharing and Collaboration: Exchange ideas, explore new partnerships and uncover opportunities to integrate sustainability into business strategy and long-term value creation.

Beyond the flagship event, Sustainability & ESG Africa will continue to foster a connected, year-round sustainability ecosystem through targeted engagements, executive forums, Community of Practice (COP) sessions and other knowledge-sharing initiatives designed to keep conversations moving and collaboration growing.

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 help shape its future.

Grounded in the continent’s diverse knowledge systems, natural resources, entrepreneurial spirit and capacity for innovation, Africa has an important role to play in developing sustainability approaches that are globally relevant and locally grounded.

The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo exists to accelerate that journey — creating a platform where ideas become action, connections become partnerships, and sustainability ambition translates into measurable impact.
