we create societal success through brand success
We are living in the Decade of Action.
The deadline has been set.
10 years is all we have to reach the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of ending poverty, improving healthcare and education, reducing inequality and spurring economic growth – all whilst managing the climate crisis.
It is humanity’s highest calling, and it is our belief at Metro that in this endeavor no one African can be left behind.
So, let’s talk about the numbers. Despite accounting for 17% of the global population and having the highest growth rate in the world, we account for 2% of global trade, 3% of global GDP and have a GDP growth rate of less than 5%. Simply put, Africa’s potential remains largely untapped.
We understand this more than most because where some see 2% as limiting, we see 98% as an opportunity.
That being said, the challenges and opportunities on our continent are uniquely African and so demand solutions that are shaped through an African perspective.
This why we aim to partner with organizations that share this calling. Organizations that so deeply in their core acknowledge that their brand success is linked to the success of the societies they operate in.
