Sterling One Foundation, PwC, Partners Plan ESG Series 4.0 Program

As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles continue to gain traction globally, Nigerian businesses are increasingly recognising the importance of integrating sustainable practices into their operations.

ESG has evolved from a trend to a strategic necessity for companies aiming to manage risks, meet regulatory requirements, and align with the expectations of investors and stakeholders.

In response to this growing significance, Sterling One Foundation, in partnership with PwC, NGX, UNIDO Investment and Technology Promotion Office (ITPO) Nigeria, LBS Sustainability Centre, Lagos Chamber of Commerce & Industry (LCCI), Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), and Sterling Bank, is proud to host ESG Series 4.0 on October 25, 2024.

The event will provide a platform for thought leaders to share insights on advancing sustainable development and driving meaningful change.

This marks the fourth installment of the ESG Series in 2024, underscoring the ongoing commitment to deepening the ESG conversation in Nigeria and across Africa. Each edition has offered practical solutions and sparked essential discussions on embedding ESG into corporate strategies.

To maintain this momentum, ESG Series 4.0 will offer two key tracks focused on equipping participants with the tools and strategies needed to implement robust ESG frameworks that drive growth and resilience.

The session will convene ESG leaders, corporate executives, development experts, and sustainability advocates who are dedicated to elevating sustainable business practices. The agenda will provide valuable insights on ESG reporting, risk management, and aligning sustainability goals with organizational strategies. These discussions will benefit organisations aiming to stay ahead of evolving ESG standards and implement best practices that enhance resilience and create long-term value.

Participants will hear from leaders in the ESG and social impact space, including Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation, who will play host for the 4th ESG Series. As a development advocate with a strong background in driving social change and promoting sustainable practices, Olapeju will share valuable perspectives on integrating impact-driven strategies into business operations.

Commenting on the importance of sustainability in today’s business landscape, Olapeju Ibekwe, CEO of Sterling One Foundation, said, “As businesses continue to embrace the principles of sustainability, we must move beyond discussions and focus on actionable strategies that drive real change. ESG Series 4.0 aims to equip organisations with the knowledge and tools needed to implement impactful ESG strategies that drive growth and resilience.”

The lineup also includes Bolanle Adekoya, Partner and PwC West Africa Platform Leader for ESG & Sustainability, who will provide practical strategies for navigating ESG challenges, drawing from her extensive experience in helping organisations meet regulatory standards and achieve sustainable growth. Additionally, Nana Maidugu, Head of Sustainability and ESG at NSIA, will offer insights on streamlining ESG reporting processes, providing essential guidance for businesses looking to enhance their frameworks and ensure compliance with evolving standards.

Adewale Oyerinde, Director-General of the Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association (NECA), will deliver a goodwill message during the session, setting the tone for a thought-provoking and impactful discussion.
