Sanlam to host landmark ESG event ahead of G20 Summit

Executive Summary

As South Africa prepares to host the G20 Summit in Johannesburg this November—the first time on African soil—Sanlam, in partnership with Business Day, will launch the Sanlam ESG Barometer: B20 Policy Impact Special Report at an exclusive event on October 7. This special edition expands the Barometer's focus beyond ESG performance of listed companies to evaluate the real-world impact of B20 policy recommendations from 2022-2024, tracking their transition to G20 adoption and government action, with rigorous analysis by Krutham. The report and gathering of business leaders, policymakers, and experts highlight Africa's pivotal role in global decision-making, advancing priorities like financial inclusion, green industrialization, and infrastructure resilience to shape sustainable development.
