Hosted by Topco Media, the event brings together Africa’s most visionary leaders, innovators, and changemakers to drive actionable solutions for a more inclusive and regenerative future.

With just two weeks to go, anticipation is building for a two-day agenda that will explore the intersection of circular economy innovation, responsible business, and sustainable growth on the African continent.

A partnership rooted in purpose

As one of South Africa’s leading manufacturers of glass packaging and a proudly Level 1 B-BBEE contributor, Isanti Glass continues to champion local production and sustainable impact through innovation and collaboration.

“At Isanti Glass, we believe that sustainability is not a department, it’s a shared responsibility and a strategic imperative,” said Ronel Cara, Executive: Marketing, CSI & Communications at Isanti Glass. “The Future of Sustainability Conference gives us a platform to exchange ideas with partners who are equally committed to transforming industries, empowering communities, and creating circular value chains that leave no one behind.”

Driving Africa’s sustainability agenda

The Future of Sustainability Conference 2025 will feature thought-provoking sessions under themes such as Scalable Circular Solutions, Navigating Carbon Tax, and Shared Value Beyond Philanthropy. With a diverse speaker lineup that includes Ambassador Marie-Antoinette Rose Quatre (APRM Continental Secretariat), Dr Achieng Ojwang (UN Global Compact Network SA), and Shabeer Jhetam (The Glass Recycling Company), the event is poised to become a landmark gathering for sustainability leadership across sectors.

For Isanti Glass, participation in the conference underscores its commitment to building a fully circular glass ecosystem, advancing South Africa’s recycling infrastructure, and strengthening public-private collaboration to accelerate a green and just industrial transition.
