WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER?
Your registration gives you access to far more than the conference programme. Make the most of your Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo experience with a range of additional opportunities designed to help you learn, connect, discover and engage.
Discover innovative solutions, technologies and services from organisations shaping Africa’s sustainable future. Meet exhibitors, explore new ideas and see sustainability solutions in action.
As part of your registration, you have access to two FREE specialist pre-conference workshops:
WORKSHOP: Co-Designing Bio-based Circular Business Models: A Forestry & Fibre Case Study
TUESDAY, 29 September 2026 | 09:00-12:00
This half-day pre-conference workshop invites delegates to help co-design the next generation of circular business solutions for forest-based and biobased value chains. Designed as a hands-on working session rather than a lecture, it uses a structured “pre-mortem” to stress-test new FSC solutions — built specifically for the African market — and turn practical feedback into concrete design input. This workshop will attract Sustainability professionals, ESG practitioners, Procurement and Supply chain professionals, Strategic planning teams, Climate, Nature and Reporting practitioners, Operations, Manufacturing and finance leads, Executives, Consultants and public-sector decision-makers looking to prepare for the next generation of sustainability requirements.
WORKSHOP: Nature-Based Solutions in Action: Practical Strategies for Building Resilient Businesses Using the energy sector as a practical case study.
TUESDAY, 29 September 2026 | 13:00-16:30
IUCN’s energy-related work supports decision-makers, regulators, investors and project developers in identifying and managing these risks across the full project lifecycle—from strategic planning and site selection through construction, operation, repowering and decommissioning. This includes applying spatial planning, early biodiversity-risk screening, cumulative-impact assessment and the mitigation hierarchy of avoid, minimise, restore and, only where appropriate, offset.
The masterclass will also examine where Nature-based Solutions can complement engineered infrastructure and conventional environmental management—for example through catchment restoration, wetland protection, erosion control, ecological rehabilitation and biodiversity enhancement around energy developments.
Your registration also gives you access to the SMME Summit, bringing together entrepreneurs, business leaders and sustainability-focused SMMEs to explore opportunities for growth, innovation, collaboration and impact.
The session will demonstrate how the GRI Standards and the B Impact support different stages of an organisation’s sustainability journey.
The GRI Standards provide organisations with an internationally recognised framework for identifying, measuring and publicly disclosing their most material sustainability impacts. They answer the question: What should a company report?
The B Impact Assessment, developed by B Lab, provides organisations with a practical management framework to assess, improve and embed responsible business practices across five key impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers. It answers the question: How can a company improve its impact and performance?
Together, these approaches enable businesses to move beyond compliance towards continuous improvement, stronger business performance and more meaningful sustainability reporting.
The workshop combines expert presentations with practical business examples and an interactive management session, enabling participants to understand not only the theory of sustainability reporting but also how to implement better business practices within their own organisations.
Take part in daily competitions throughout the Expo and stand a chance to win exciting prizes while exploring the exhibition.
See innovative sustainability technologies, products and solutions in action through live demonstrations on the Expo floor.
Meet sustainability and ESG leaders, solution providers, innovators and fellow professionals from across Africa — and make connections that can continue long after the conference.
One registration. Two specialist workshops. The SMME Summit. The Expo. Live demonstrations. Competitions. And two days of Africa’s sustainability community under one roof.
You can spend the day hearing about the future of sustainability.
Or you can walk onto the Expo floor and see who’s actually building it.
Between sessions, take the opportunity to explore the exhibition, meet solution providers, ask questions and discover what’s new across Africa’s sustainability ecosystem.
