About Us

Who We Are

Africa's Dedicated ESG & Climate Advisory Practice

CROYANCE is a specialised advisory firm headquartered in Johannesburg, working with organisations across sub-Saharan Africa to embed sustainability, resilience, and good governance at the heart of strategy.

We combine deep local market knowledge with global best-practice frameworks — translating complex regulatory and stakeholder expectations into pragmatic, high-impact programmes that organisations can actually implement.

Founded on the belief that African organisations must lead — not merely respond to — the global sustainability agenda, we bring the analytical depth of a global consultancy with the agility and context of an Africa-focused specialist.

Proven track record
