Africa Business and Human Rights Forum

Realizing the Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment through Responsible Business Conduct.
The Africa Business and Human Rights Forum returns for its fifth anniversary in October 2026, bringing together governments, businesses, civil society, and affected communities to advance responsible business conduct across the continent.
This year's theme – Realizing the Right to a Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment through Responsible Business Conduct – reflects a defining moment for Africa. Over 45 African nations recognize the right to a healthy environment in law. The question is no longer whether this right exists, but how it is put into practice – especially when it comes to holding businesses accountable for their environmental and human rights impacts.
Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo 2026
20th September 2026 - Johannesburg, South Africa
The Sustainability & ESG Africa Conference & Expo 2026, taking place 30 September – 1 October 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg, is Africa’s leading executive platform dedicated to the business and economics of sustainability.
In 2026, the sustainability conversation has fundamentally shifted. No longer driven by compliance, reporting frameworks, or reputational positioning, sustainability is now judged by its ability to drive profitability, resilience, capital access, and long-term enterprise value.
African organisations are being forced to answer a far more direct question:
Does sustainability make business sense?
Sustainability & ESG Africa 2026 exists to answer that question—practically, commercially, and credibly.
