This highly anticipated conference Purplebeidge learnt will bring together a broad coalition of stakeholders, including policymakers, private sector leaders and urban planners. Others are developers, bankers, researchers, architects, engineers, and sustainability advocates, to explore practical and innovative ways to integrate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards into every facet of the real estate development value chain in Africa.In recent years, ESG has gained global attention as a critical framework for ethical and sustainable investment and development. In the African context, however, ESG is far more than a global trend; it is an urgent call to action. Environmental degradation, rapid urbanization, socio-economic inequality, and weak governance structures continue to affect the housing and infrastructure sectors across the continent. Left unaddressed, these challenges threaten to undermine economic growth, displace vulnerable communities, and exacerbate climate-related risks.
The Africa ESG Conference and Exhibition will serve as a platform to reposition Africa’s built environment for a more resilient and inclusive future. By mainstreaming ESG principles, the real estate industry can proactively address issues such as carbon emissions, energy efficiency, climate-resilient design, affordable housing, ethical sourcing of materials, gender equity, and governance transparency.It’s expected that through keynote speeches, technical sessions, interactive panels, exhibitions, and policy roundtables, participants will gain valuable insights into global best practices, emerging trends, innovative technologies, and policy frameworks that promote green development and responsible investment.
Notably, the event will also highlight Nigeria’s own home-grown solutions and showcase leading developers, institutions, and initiatives already making strides in ESG adoption.The two-day event is designed not only to educate but also to inspire collaboration. Networking sessions and strategic business meetings will provide opportunities for stakeholders to form partnerships, drive investment, and collectively define a new era of real estate excellence—one that is driven by sustainability, transparency, and long-term value creation.On why the the conference is a must, REDAN President,Prince Akintoye Adeoye said it would be an opportunity to learn from top ESG and sustainability experts across Africa and beyond to explore green building innovations, sustainable financing options, and smart construction tools.Others are to connect with key stakeholders in government, finance, academia, and the private sector.Gain insights into regulatory changes, incentives, and compliance requirements.He said : ‘Participants will also showcase their projects or services, position your brand as a leader in ethical and sustainable real estate.The future of real estate is green, and Africa must not be left behind.
