Towards Sustainability Development Goals: A Journey from Challenges to Sustainable Triumphs In Nairobi's bustling heart, where urban life intersects with environmental commitment, Beatrice Wanjiru Mwangi embarked on a visionary journey. The founder of Towards Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), Beatrice aimed to contribute to climate action through her environmental consultancy firm. However, ambitious projects come with challenges. Before joining the program, Towards SDGs faced obstacles hindering growth. Operating without formal registration compromised legal adherence and impacted market reach and revenue. The focus on the environment overshadowed social and governance components, leading to isolation within the industry.

We had an enlightening session at the UMS Ignite event on August 2nd, focused on the crucial role of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices for businesses in Uganda. Navigating the ESG Landscape in Uganda. My key takeaways: 1. Start at Home: ESG isn't just a corporate mandate; it begins with each of us. Simple actions like reusing, recycling and reducing waste in our daily lives can make a big difference. 2. Corporate Commitment: Integrating ESG into business strategies is essential. As Cathy Adengo highlighted, the world's top ten most profitable companies have successfully incorporated ESG principles into their core operations, ensuring ethical practices and long-term sustainability. 3. Collective Action: Initiatives like the “Taasa Obutonde” campaign, which focuses on tree planting, demonstrate the power of community efforts. We need financial and marketing support to drive such impactful projects. 4. Marketing as a Driver: Marketing plays a key role in driving ESG initiatives by influencing public perception, shaping narratives and promoting sustainable practices. Effective marketing strategies can galvanise support, attract partnerships and amplify the impact of ESG efforts. A heartfelt thanks to our insightful speakers Dison B. Okumu, Cathy Adengo, CPA Dr. James Okello Onyon and moderator Peter Igaga for sharing their expertise and vision. Your contributions are paving the way for a sustainable future in Uganda. Let's embrace our responsibility to protect our environment. As Dison B. Okumu wisely stated, “Everything we see around us is a loan for our children. It's our responsibility to conserve it for the future.” #ESG #Sustainability #UMSIgnite #Marketing #EnvironmentalConservation

Earlier today, I had the privilege of moderating the panel discussion on “Innovative Strategies for Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems in Africa” at the 2024 International Sustainability Conference by Lagos Business School. It was an invaluable opportunity to spotlight one of Africa’s most pressing challenges: Food Security. My Key Takeaways? * Collaboration is crucial-public-private partnerships thrive on aligned goals and clear synergies. * Policy matters-grassroots-centered policies empower farmers and drive sustainable practices. * Infrastructure is vital-scalable systems are essential as Africa’s population heads toward 2.5 billion by 2050. * Action is urgent- We cannot continue business as usual! It’s time to implement bold, solution-driven strategies. Grateful to the incredible panelists for their expert insights shared Jeroen Elfers, Olufemi Samuel Aiki, Victoria Ndidiamaka ANYIANUKA and Ade Adefeko and to Lagos Business School, Pan-Atlantic University, Lagos Business School Sustainability Centre for the platform and opportunity to collaborate on a crucial subject as this. It's day 2 of the conference tomorrow and you do not want to miss out! #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #Collaboration #Innovation #Africa #ActionForChange
