Independent. Pan-African. Membership-first.
ABOUT AFRICAN INSTITUTE OF ESG & SUSTAINABILITY (AIESGS)
What is AIESGS?
AIESGS plays a crucial role in facilitating collaboration and cooperation among companies operating across Africa.
By serving as a central platform, AIESGS helps to synchronize efforts and communicate effectively on a continent-wide scale.
Unlike organizations focused on setting industry standards, providing assurance services, or developing software solutions, AIESGS uniquely focuses on aggregating and coordinating joint initiatives that individual firms would struggle to achieve independently.
IMPACT STRIP
🌍
Pan-African reach
Cairo to Cape Town. Lagos to Nairobi.
We activate participation across regions (West, East, North, Central, and Southern Africa) and across value chains—suppliers, youth, customers—because climate and social progress depend on what happens beyond company walls.
🤝
Multi-company collaboration
Executives & value chains acting together.
Modern ESG and sustainability challenges don’t belong to one department—and they don’t wait for internal alignment to catch up. Finance needs evidence. Procurement needs supplier asks. Legal needs safe claims. HR needs to develop green skills.
⏱️
Results in 90 days
Task forces with clear outputs.
Each company nominates real delegates who join 90-day task forces, participate in executive briefings, and receive role-specific guidance to move quickly without ambiguity.
Our Mission
We bring Africa’s business leaders and operators into one room—finance, procurement, operations, sustainability, risk, HR, legal and commercial—to turn intent into coordinated action.
Our mission is to convert strategy into visible results through short, focused task forces and public participation signals that no firm can create alone.
Our Vision
Our vision is an Africa where corporate action on people, planet, and prosperity is coordinated, comparable, and recognised—sector by sector, corridor by corridor.
We aim to build a trusted pan-African platform where participation is credible, collaboration is practical, and outcomes move entire value chains forward.
