Sustainability Talks - Social Impact

09 March 2026 · 19:49 min

Sustainability Talks reframes one of the most uncomfortable questions in South African business: who is the economy really built for? Instead of treating sustainability as a carbon-only exercise, this podcast examines how finance, technology, and entrepreneurship can unlock value that already… exists — but is routinely ignored.

This show is for decision-makers, investors, founders, and professionals who want to understand the real mechanics of inclusive growth. From informal housing and township rental markets to blended finance, financial inclusion, and scalable business models that deliver both impact and returns.

Drawing on grounded conversations with banks, entrepreneurs, and operators on the front lines, Sustainability Talks explores how informal economies generate real cash flows, how technology can reduce risk, and how capital can be redesigned to meet people where they are. Expect clear-eyed insight into housing, innovation, leadership, and the future of the South African economy — with lessons that travel globally.
