Episode 8: Green Solutions that Spark Growth

What Sustainability Really Looks Like in African Logistics? What does sustainability actually look like in practice and not only in theory?

In this episode of Make Growth Happen, we unpack how sustainability in African logistics is being shaped by real operational decisions, not just long‑term ambition. Featuring Liesl De Wet (Unitrans' Head of Sustainability), this conversation explores how the industry is navigating the balance between efficiency, reliability and decarbonisation in environments where infrastructure, cost pressures and operational realities demand practical solutions.

Rather than chasing idealistic targets, the discussion focuses on what’s working now: how innovation, electrification readiness and smarter fleet performance are being applied in ways that make both environmental and business sense.

In this episode, we discuss:

* Why sustainability in Africa is about progress, not perfection

* The realities of electrification and green transport adoption

* How efficiency improvements already reduce emissions and cost

* What it takes to scale sustainable solutions in complex environments

This is a grounded, forward‑looking conversation that moves beyond buzzwords, offering a clear view of how sustainability is being implemented in the real world.
