A CALL TO LEAD, SHAPE, AND DEFINE AFRICA’S FUTURE - ON OUR TERMS.
The 2026 Africa Shared Value & ESG Summit, hosted in Lagos, Nigeria, on Africa Day – 25 May – is not just another gathering. It is a continental movement to enable Africa to build for itself, by itself. In the face of shifting global power dynamics, Africa’s youth, innovators, and business leaders are stepping forward , reshaping our story, reclaiming our power, and creating long-term prosperity rooted in purpose.
This continental summit brings together business, government, civil society, and academia to forge new pathways of growth, driven by value, equity, and sustainability. We are not asking for permission. We are building the future – our way.
Why This Summit Matters
Africa is not waiting for change , we are creating it. The recent geopolitical, environmental, and economic shifts have brought the continent to a crucial point: a growing youth population, vibrant entrepreneurial energy, and resource potential make Africa the world’s next frontier.
But how we move forward must be defined by us. This Summit invites businesses and institutions to move beyond rhetoric, embracing Shared Value and ESG not as add-ons, but as core strategies for sustainable growth.
