Sustainability summit to chart path towards net zero economy

Leading business executives, policymakers, industry experts, and sustainability practitioners will convene for the Strategic ESG and Sustainability Impact Summit 2024 (SESI 24) to chart a new path towards a net zero economy.

Organised in collaboration with the Institute of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Ghana, SESI 24 is set to become a pivotal platform for fostering dialogue on the urgent need for businesses to align their strategies with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards in response to the global climate crisis.

The summit to be held under the theme "Towards a net zero future for businesses,” will foster collaboration, drive innovation, inform policy, and inspire action among key stakeholders.

It is to be held between November 13 and 14, 2024, at the Labadi Beach Hotel.

Chairperson

Professor Douglas Boateng, one of the world’s most respected experts in sustainable development and supply chain governance, will chair SESI 24. As a thought leader and sustainability advocate, Professor Boateng has been instrumental in advancing ESG practices across Africa and globally.

In an interview ahead of the summit in Accra, Professor Boateng said, “The time for businesses to act is now. A net-zero future is not just a regulatory obligation—it is a moral and strategic imperative.

“The future of African businesses and economies hinges on how we respond to the sustainability challenge. This summit is about unlocking solutions that make environmental stewardship a central component of business success”.

Comprehensive programme

SESI 24 will feature a comprehensive programme, including keynote addresses, panel discussions, and workshops on key themes such as decarbonization, sustainable finance, circular economy, and social impact governance.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into cutting-edge solutions, emerging technologies, and regulatory frameworks that support the net-zero transition in Ghana and beyond.
