Governments and Corporations to Support Small Businesses to implement Green Solutions to Grow and Increase Intra-Africa Trade

The majority of companies in Africa are SMEs, and they will play a vital role tackling climate change and meeting their national governments’ carbon emission targets. Customers across Africa are becoming more aware of climate change and questioning businesses’ environmental responsibilities. And companies that are perceived to be green are likely to be given excellent ratings and generate more business. The IV AfCFTA Infrastructure Investors Conference will promote high-profile workshops exploring technology, programs, and projects adopted to mitigate climate change, and defining the environmental and social responsibilities of governments in the AfCFTA Union.

Companies operating in Africa participating in the event will outline bankable projects aligned to carbon management plans incorporated into their business plans to create sustainability and carbon free environments. Future trends are that companies that are sustainable and responsible to the environment regardless of their size will be given priority over others and benefit from green investment funds, increased profit, brand recognition, and goodwill. The IV AfCFTA Infrastructure Conference will prepare businesses and corporations for this new social and industrial change, supporting them in their endeavours to deliver carbon costed solutions.
