The Chief executive Officer, NGX Regulation Limited (NGXRegCo), Tinuade Awe has called on stakeholders to do more concerning environmental, sustainability and governance stressing the need to re-examine current frameworks.<\/p>\n

While giving the keynote speech at the Association of Sustainability Professionals of Nigeria (ASPN) Webinar held recently, Awe said that stakeholders should begin to prioritise actions that would help address global developmental challenges affecting ESG disclosures, noting that opportunity was abound for both private and public sectors to enhance sustainability output.<\/p>\n

The event, themed\u00a0Purpose Driven ESG Disclosures: Redefining the Facts Behind Sustainability,\u00a0<\/b>was organised to address several challenges businesses and sustainability professionals were confronted with in the formulation and implementation of ESG disclosures in Nigeria and beyond.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the challenges, Awe said, \u201cOur world is yet to heal from the economic scars caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and now we are facing a climate crisis. These challenges threaten to erase the significant progress made toward sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis awakening for a sustainable world is also present within the financial sector, as evident in the rise of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors in assessing investment opportunities and providing financial services. The concept of ESG is an area of increasing interest in developed and developing economies due to the interplay between ESG and key issues such as sustainable development, corporate governance, climate change, stakeholder engagement, and community relations, amongst a myriad of issues,\u201d she added.<\/p>

Awe disclosed the initiatives NGX RegCo is doing to catalyse ESG disclosures in the Nigerian capital market, saying the regulator collaborated with other stakeholders on the development of the NGX Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines in 2019. The guidelines aim to provide companies with a step-by-step approach to integrating sustainability into their activities and operations. With the last publication made in 2019, the organisation is looking to update the NGX Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines.<\/p>\n

According to her, \u201cthe updated Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines will be built on some of the most updated recent global sustainability reporting standards and frameworks including the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Universal Standards and facilitate a phased transition to mandatory sustainability reporting for companies listed on NGX in line with global trends.\u201d<\/p>\n

The CEO has also called for improvement across the ecosystem, and tasked stakeholders to set agendas that ensure that key ESG-related issues become deep-rooted cultural values shared by all stakeholders in corporations, a step she believes will help improve Nigeria\u2019s ESG performance and reputation on the global stage.<\/p>\n
