The Sterling One Foundation has partnered with UNIDO Investment Technology and a host of other major industry players to introduce the inaugural edition of their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Series.
The move seeks to bridge the knowledge gap surrounding Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles within the African development ecosystem and the private sector, according to Vanguard.
Originating from insights gained at the 2023 Africa Social Impact Summit (ASIS), the ESG Series aims to enhance professionals’ competencies in integrating ESG principles into organisational frameworks, thereby driving positive change and attracting increased investment from both local and global investors.
The one-day virtual event promises in-depth sessions featuring thought leaders from various sectors, including private sector impact makers, development partners, international non-governmental organisations, and government agencies.
Participants can expect insightful discussions aimed at demystifying ESG concepts and highlighting their relevance across different sectors.
The list of companies involved in the move is as follows; Sterling One Foundation, Price Waterhouse Coopers Nigeria, UNIDO-Investment Technology Promotion Office Nigeria, Lagos Business School Sustainability Center, Sterling Bank, NGX Group, the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, and the Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
The announcement brings together the collective expertise of these diverse institutions who aim aiming to bolster professionals’ understanding, implementation, and reporting of sustainability progress, aligning with global standards.
Through this collaborative effort, the Foundation aims to elucidate ESG concepts, underscore their tangible business benefits, and provide professionals with the necessary knowledge and tools for successful ESG integration within their organisations.
