AFRICAN CEO ROUNDTABLE

Impact investment is a fast-growing asset class internationally. However, the  definition of impact investing itself remains unclear: it is neither  for-profit nor a socially responsible investment, although it has close  links with social entrepreneurship. There is also no general method or  framework for measuring the impact of investments. Each investor defines  and applies their own.

The Sustainability CEO Forum aims to:

• Provide a better understanding of the sustainability sector in Africa;  
• Partner with other institutions in the sustainable finance ecosystem in  raising awareness on impact investing African communities;
• Contribute to a standardization of the concept, which is essential  for its legitimacy and for understanding the capacities and limits of sustainability and impact investment;
•  Study the effects of sustainability on the development of African countries; 
• Propose a reflection on the current questions that arise on the sustainable development of this sector. 

Its work will cover the activities of impact investors across the African continent.
