We’re pleased to share our latest edition of the Africa Business Agenda, namely the Africa Business Agenda: Sustainability focus, with you.
Our publication explores the major disruptive forces shaping sustainability strategies across sub-Saharan Africa. These include rapid technological change, macroeconomic volatility, intensifying climate risks, constantly evolving government regulations, and mounting social pressures from investors, government, consumers and the workforce.
Companies can get ahead of these disruptions by strategically transforming their business models to unlock sustainability’s full potential as a catalyst for long-term growth and positive societal impact.
Key highlights from the report include:
Mitigating risks around sustainability reporting and messaging integrity posed by disinformation campaigns.
Improving quantification of climate-related transition and physical risks using advanced modelling tools.
Developing an agile, scenario-based approach to address regulatory uncertainties around climate, trade and technology.
Integrating sustainability as a core strategic imperative to ensure enduring economic viability.
At PwC, we are focusing on delivering a positive societal impact, which will help our clients to deliver sustained outcomes and build trust in addressing these disruptions. We are therefore proud to also announce the launch of our new Value Chain Sustainability Insight application, developed by our community of solvers. This application is a testament to our net zero commitment, and will support our clients to automate emissions supply chain reporting. This will harness the power of data analytics to quantify and analyse scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. The application will also support our clients to establish themselves as leaders in sustainable transformation to meet evolving stakeholder expectations with no implementation costs.
