Founding of Sustainability Africa: Shaping a Sustainable Future for Africa
In 2015, Sustainability Africa emerged as a visionary response to the critical need for sustainability knowledge and expertise within African organizations. Recognizing the profound impact of climate change and the increasing importance of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, the founders embarked on a mission to equip African businesses with the tools needed to navigate the evolving global landscape.
The Vision: Fostering Knowledge and Competitiveness
The driving force behind Sustainability Africa was the recognition that sustainability is not just a responsibility but a strategic imperative. The founders understood that, to compete in the global market, African organizations needed to integrate sustainability into their core strategies. The firm was established with the belief that a sustainable approach not only ensures long-term competitiveness but also positions businesses as responsible contributors to a global community facing pressing challenges.
Addressing Global Standards
 A key founding principle of Sustainability Africa was the commitment to aligning African businesses with international standards. Recognizing the significance of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Global Reporting standards, the firm aimed to guide organizations in adopting practices that not only met global expectations but also showcased their commitment to responsible business practices.
Envisioning Thriving and Resilient African Businesses
Sustainability Africa was founded on the vision of African businesses thriving in the face of challenges, being resilient to environmental and social changes, and creating positive impacts within their communities. The founders foresaw a future where sustainable business practices would not only enhance economic viability but also contribute to the well-being of local communities.
