Localized | Sustainability in Practice: Building ESG into African Businesses

Sustainability is no longer a “nice to have”- it’s a strategic advantage. As global markets evolve and investors demand greater transparency, African businesses, especially SMEs, are increasingly expected to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into their operations. But how do you put ESG into practice in a way that is realistic, achievable, and aligned with business growth? In this webinar, we explore practical approaches to embedding ESG within African small and medium enterprises. Our expert will break down the fundamentals of ESG frameworks, demystify key reporting standards, and share actionable steps that organizations can take regardless of size or industry. We’ll discuss what ESG looks like on the ground in African markets where challenges such as limited resources, informal structures, and evolving regulatory environments can make implementation feel overwhelming. You’ll learn strategies for balancing profit with social responsibility, building stakeholder trust, and positioning your business for long-term resilience. Whether you're an entrepreneur, an emerging leader, or a student interested in sustainability, this session will equip you with the tools and insights to champion ESG in a practical, locally relevant way.
