Africa Sustainability Matters (ASM) is a pan‑African media and communications platform focused on sustainability, development and corporate social responsibility. It produces timely news, in‑depth features, analysis, videos and resource listings that examine environmental, social and economic issues affecting African countries and regional markets. ASM targets sustainability practitioners, policy makers, development partners, business leaders and an informed public interested in climate, green finance, circular economy, sustainable agriculture and responsible business.
The organisation combines journalism with capacity‑building and partnerships: it publishes topical reporting and sectoral briefings, highlights funding and fellowship opportunities, curates training and certification offerings, and amplifies case studies of sustainable enterprises. ASM operates in close association with Impact Africa Consulting Limited (IACL), leveraging the consultancy’s expertise in sustainability advisory and training to inform editorial priorities and learning products. Editorial leadership is identified (Solomon Irungu as communications lead and chief editor) and the outlet promotes events, courses and fellowships tied to sustainability practice.
ASM’s distinguishing characteristics are its continent‑wide focus on the nexus of environment, social policy and economic development, its mix of multimedia content (articles, videos, reports) and its orientation toward actionable information for practitioners and investors. It also functions as a hub for job, grant and fellowship listings and publishes sectoral analysis intended to inform decision‑making by enterprises and policy actors. With operational presence in Nairobi and links to a sustainability consultancy, ASM blends reporting with practitioner resources to support sustainable development implementation across Africa.
