Our Commitment to South Africa

As we scale our operations, we remain focused on advancing energy-efficient façades, fire-resilient buildings, and climate-adaptive infrastructure that meet both local regulations and the broader goals of South Africa’s low-carbon development agenda.

We specialize in four core service areas: Environment and Sustainability, Specialist Engineering, Project Delivery Management, and Technology & Digital Solutions. We work closely with developers, architects, engineers, and government bodies to ensure that each project delivers measurable impact, contributing to South Africa’s sustainability goals, including the National Climate Change Response Policy, GBCSA Green Star Program, and the country's commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Our Commitment to Africa

From our foundation in South Africa and Egypt, AESG is rapidly growing across the African continent, partnering with governments, visionary real estate developers, and forward-thinking private sector leaders. With a deep respect for Africa’s rich diversity and boundless potential, we blend local knowledge with global expertise to craft solutions that reflect the continent’s aspirations for sustainable growth and thriving communities.

AESG is honoured to play a role in shaping Africa’s future - one where the built environment harmonises with nature, resilience is built into every structure, and every project paves the way for a sustainable tomorrow.
