Women in Sustainability (WiSA): Executive Assembly 2027

ATTEND THE INAUGURAL WISA EVENT ON 8 MARCH 2027 (MONDAY):

Women in Sustainability Assembly (WiSA) 2027

A New Centre of Gravity for African Women in Sustainable Development & Corporate Leadership

Johannesburg, South Africa | 7–8 March 2027

Women in Sustainability Assembly (WiSA) is designed as the definitive executive nexus for the continent’s most influential female leaders. WiSA is poised to shift the sustainability narrative from the margins of corporate discourse to the absolute core of organisational strategy, growth, prosperity, and visionary leadership.

For too long, sustainability has been treated as a peripheral corporate function.

Sustainability, ESG, corporate affairs and impact have been viewed as secondary, perhaps tertiary and peripheral corporate functions for far too long. Yet, we know that sustainability is the non-negotiable lens through which modern business growth must be viewed. Having observed that women constitute the majority in sustainability, impact, purpose, and corporate affairs roles, it is clear they are the true architects of corporate success. WiSA is not merely a response to this reality, it is a long-overdue recognition of it.

WISA marks the intentional shift from the margins to the centre — recognising the women who aren't just participating in the sustainability narrative but are defining it.

Why WiSA Exists

"Sustainability isn’t a fleeting trend nor a reactionary concept; it is a deliberately progressive and dominant strategy for business growth and socio-environmental prosperity," says Bogosi Motshegwa, Founder & Chief Executive for Sustainable impact, at Thinkerneur Sustainable Impact. "Women in sustainability, corporate affairs, communications, reputation, governance and transformation are the silent architects of corporate resilience. WISA is the stage where that architecture is finally revealed, celebrated, and scaled as the new gold standard for African leadership", Motshegwa concludes.
