ESG and Impact Investing in Africa

Hosted by Dr Rufaro Nyakatawa, Market Development Consultant – Africa at Jersey Finance, this exclusive roundtable will bring together leading industry experts and professionals to explore the evolving role of ESG (environmental, social and governance) and impact investing across Africa.

This high-level conversation will move beyond regulatory checkboxes to examine how ESG principles can be harnessed as a driver of strategic value, sustainable growth and long-term impact in African markets.

The discussion will explore the following themes:

• How South African institutions are integrating ESG into investment strategies that go beyond regulatory compliance
• Strategies for overcoming challenges in ESG data collection and impact measurement
• Whether the perceived trade-off between financial returns and impact still holds true in the African investment context
• The influence of generational shifts on the growth of purpose-led investing among African wealth holders
• How ESG values are being received and interpreted in South Africa amid global resistance and politicisation
