Chief Executive of Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, Aminu Umar-Sadiq
Nigerian businesses are re-evaluating how they manage long-term risk and access capital, shifting environmental, social, and governance considerations from routine compliance exercises into core corporate strategy.
The strategic pivot comes as corporate balance sheets across Africa’s most populous nation face compounding pressures from rising energy overheads, climate-driven supply chain disruptions, and increasingly stringent disclosure demands from international lenders and investors.
This evolving dynamic will form the backdrop of the inaugural Sustainability Conference in Lagos on 20 August, organised by the Sustainability Professionals Institute of Nigeria.
The event, themed ‘The Adaptive Enterprise: Sustainability Strategies for Challenging Times,’ aims to address how companies can maintain operational resilience amidst macroeconomic volatility and shifting regulatory landscapes.
