As the global focus on environmental sustainability grows, Nigerian businesses are increasingly recognizing the necessity of integrating sustainable practices into their operations. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have shifted from being a trend to becoming a strategic requirement for businesses aiming to contribute positively to the environment, manage risks, and meet regulatory demands.
In response to this need, Sterling One Foundation, in partnership with organizations like PwC, NGX, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) ITPO Nigeria, is hosting the 4th ESG Series on October 25, 2024. The event seeks to advance conversations around sustainable development and drive meaningful environmental change in Nigeria and across Africa.
The focus on the environment and sustainable development is especially timely as the world faces increasing pressure to address climate change, resource depletion, and environmental degradation. ESG Series 4.0 will offer practical solutions to these challenges, providing businesses with the tools to implement robust environmental strategies. The two key tracks of the event will explore how companies can embed environmental sustainability into their core operations, ensuring they contribute to long-term ecological balance while driving growth and resilience.
The event will feature ESG experts, corporate leaders, and sustainability advocates committed to improving environmental practices in business. The discussions will cover critical topics such as ESG reporting, risk management, and aligning sustainability goals with business strategies. By focusing on environmental stewardship, companies can reduce their ecological footprint, enhance resilience to climate risks, and build trust with stakeholders.
Speakers such as Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation, will highlight the importance of actionable environmental strategies. Olapeju will share insights on how businesses can go beyond mere discussions and implement real, measurable environmental changes that contribute to the global sustainability agenda.
Additionally, Bolanle Adekoya, Partner and PwC West Africa Platform Leader for ESG & Sustainability, will offer practical guidance on navigating environmental challenges within the ESG framework. Her expertise will help businesses align with regulatory standards and achieve sustainable environmental growth. Nana Maidugu, Head of Sustainability and ESG at NSIA, will also provide valuable insights on streamlining environmental reporting processes, which are crucial for businesses to stay compliant with evolving global environmental standards.
With the participation of leaders like Adewale Oyerinde, Director-General of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), the event promises to set a strong foundation for sustainable environmental practices in Nigeria’s business landscape.
