Shift Impact Africa is a Shared Value advisory and consulting firm that assists businesses with unlocking the power of a Shared Value strategy – one that is not only centred on social and environmental impacts, but also benefits the communities in which the organisation operates.
We advocate strongly for business to focus on profit with purpose; founded on the belief that business can and should simultaneously create economic value and value for society. Shift is a women-owned and run company, with a diverse team of Shared Value, social impact and sustainability strategy development consultants.
