About Africa Sustainable Trade (AST)

​

At Africa Sustainable Trade (AST), we envision a future where African nations are not just participants but leaders in sustainable trade and innovation. We're committed to a future where prosperity doesn't come at the expense of our environment or social values. Here’s how we're turning this vision into reality with our 3 pillars:

​

1. Empowering Change - We're transforming the narrative around Africa's global economic role, celebrating our rich diversity and vast potential.

2. Strengthening Connections - By boosting intra-Africa trade, we're fortifying the backbone of our continent’s economy, making it stronger and more resilient.

3. Expanding Horizons - We're taking African innovation to the global stage, increasing our presence in international markets and introducing the world to our unique solutions.

Our Five Core Initiatives:

1. ASTW Expo - A platform for dialogue and discovery, showcasing sustainable innovations and fostering collaborations that shape the future of trade.

2. Innovative Industry Development - Transforming industries through strategic partnership, ensuring shared prosperity across the continent.

3. Africa Sustainable Trade Consortium (ASTC) - A collective effort that goes beyond traditional boundaries, focusing on sectors like mining, responsible agriculture, technology and clean energy to revolutionise sustainable practices.

4. AST Certification - Establishing new standards in trade that prioritise transparency, ethics, and compliance with global market demands.

5. Signature PR & Communication Strategy - Amplifying the voice of African businesses, telling our stories in ways that resonate globally.

Together, these initiatives not only drive strategic investment but also craft impactful trade policies that benefit everyone.
