VISTRA Sustainable Investments with Impact Johannesburg | 26 October 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has wrought havoc to global economies, disrupted livelihoods and changed how we live, work and interact. The pandemic has also exposed vulnerabilities in key sectors; including healthcare, food security, transport and logistics, education and trade. Exposing millions to new realities, unanticipated challenges and ushered in what quickly became known as “a new normal”. Although the pandemic has not spared anyone, it has hit the most vulnerable in society the hardest with the forced lockdowns, constrained movements leading
to redundancies, retrenchments and reduced economic activity.
This state of affairs has demonstrated the relevance of Impact Investing, especially the need for resilience and preparedness of key industries such as healthcare, education, agriculture, food production, logistics and transport, water and sanitation and energy. VISTRA Mauritius and its stakeholders will host two one-day conferences to share experiences and views on Sustainable Investment with Impact in Africa. The first will take place in Johannesburg at the Radisson Gautrain on the 26th of October 2022 and will be replicated in Cape Town at the Radisson Blu
on the 28th of October 2022, South Africa. VISTRA will bring together key industry stakeholders to deliberate and discuss strategic approaches for mobilising and scaling up deployment of institutional capital towards impact Investing in a post covid world.
