Prioritizing Impact

While SUSAH is broad in scope, RiseUp Africa has chosen to focus on key areas that align with our values and contribute to value creation. Our main areas of focus include promoting learning from the past, fostering a sense of community, ensuring accountability, respecting nature, and encouraging collaboration.

We firmly believe that incorporating SUSAH principles into our corporate purpose and operations leads to enhanced value creation. RiseUp Africa is committed to integrating SUSAH considerations throughout our organization, aligning our actions with our commitment to responsible and impactful business practices.

At RiseUp Africa, we understand the importance of strong accountability practices. We actively participate in the development and implementation of SUSAH initiatives within our industry, collaborating with leading organizations and sharing best practices. Regular reporting on our SUSAH progress to our board underscores our commitment to transparency and accountability.



In line with the principle of Ubuntu, we believe in our shared humanity, and that equity and inclusion are crucial drivers of success and innovation. RiseUp Africa is committed to creating a harmonious and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. We are proud of our diverse leadership team, and we are dedicated to achieving gender balance and racial diversity, as demonstrated by our success in female representation and racial diversity among our incoming talent.

Preserving Nature

In accordance with the Asili principle, RiseUp Africa recognizes the importance of addressing environmental concerns. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact by actively monitoring and minimizing our corporate carbon footprint. Our commitment is reflected in our annual Environmental Impact Report, which outlines our approach to measuring and managing our environmental impact across our operations.
