The inaugural Africa Shared Value and ESG Summit, a fusion of the esteemed Africa Shared Value Leadership Summit (ASVLS) and the ESG Africa Conference. This event is proudly hosted by Shift Impact Africa, the Shared Value Africa Initiative (SVAI) and ESG Africa Conference, and will grace Nairobi, Kenya, once again on October 24-25, 2024.
Shared Value represents a transformative approach where companies deliver economic success by forging a better world.
It’s about reimagining the heart of commerce with innovation and efficiency, strengthening long-term sustainability, branching into new markets, and embracing responsibility towards our planet and society.
ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) acts as a crucial metric, guiding companies towards responsible and sustainable business practices.
Excelling in ESG often translates into a distinct competitive edge, reflecting a brand’s commitment to building a sustainable future.
Fusing these strategies, companies don't just thrive; they lead the charge in making a substantial positive global impact.
This synergistic power of Shared Value and ESG is the driving force behind the collaboration between Shared Value Africa Initiative and the ESG Africa conference team.
Join us at the inaugural 'Africa Shared Value and ESG Summit' from 24-25October 2024 in Kenya, where we'll explore and uncoverthe seamless integration of Shared Value and ESG.
This landmark event aims to spotlight emerging trends, navigate through current challenges, and showcase how aligning Shared Value and ESG can amplify value for Africa’s people, safeguard our planet, and foster exemplary governance.
