The Resilient Sustainable Business (RSB) programme by B Lab Africa was developed in collaboration with leading subject matter experts to provide a comprehensive, multidisciplinary learning experience. The programme offers practical frameworks and strategic methodologies to integrate sustainability into core business operations, enhancing organisational resilience in an evolving global landscape.
Through a hands-on, application-driven approach, the RSB programme enables businesses to mitigate systemic risks, foster high-performance organisational cultures, and drive sustainable long-term growth.
The curriculum prioritises real-world applicability, equipping participants with relevant case studies, interactive workshops, collaborative peer engagement, and expert-led insights. By leveraging these elements, participants can develop and implement sustainability strategies that enhance operational efficiency, financial viability, and adaptability in a dynamic market environment.
Whether pursuing B Corp certification or seeking to embed sustainability into business practices, the RSB programme offers critical knowledge, actionable tools, and strategic guidance to facilitate meaningful transformation and long-term success.
RSB is designed to meet the needs of African SMEs, from building foundational knowledge in sustainability to implementing advanced strategies that drive lasting impact. It caters to teams across all levels of an organisation—leadership, management, and emerging talent—who are seeking expertise in fostering sustainable, profitable growth and enhancing business resilience.

Self-Paced Approach: Participants are encouraged to work on sections of the BIA throughout the program. The BIA is used to identify areas of gaps in the current operations and business model of an entity. It will also be what is used to create an improvement action plan for the organisation.
Completion Goal: While self-paced, it is recommended to complete each section that is aligned to the module to avoid being overwhelmed by the entire assessment at the end of the program.
Support Available: B Leaders will be available to assist with the BIA for a predetermined number of hours if you require additional guidance.
Guidance: Facilitators, B Lab Africa, and B Leaders will provide support throughout the program.
Learning Platform: All resources, including pre-work materials, walkthrough videos, and recordings of Zoom sessions, will be accessible on the platform.
The program schedule is designed to accommodate participants with full-time jobs. Off weeks are included to provide time for reviewing content, working on group projects, and engaging in discussions.
