Stakeholders from the public and private sectors will converge in Lagos next month to discuss strategies for embedding sustainability into business and governance practices at the 2026 Nigeria ESG Sustainability Summit.
The summit, organised by ESG Impact Consulting Ltd, will be held on 3 July 2026, at the Lagos Oriental Hotel.
Themed “Beyond Greening: Strategies for a Sustainable World,” the event seeks to deepen the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance principles across institutions and move discussions beyond symbolic environmental initiatives.
According to the organisers, the summit comes as Nigeria grapples with climate, economic and governance challenges and will provide a platform for dialogue, collaboration and knowledge sharing through keynote addresses, executive sessions and networking engagements.
The organisers said the summit would focus on accelerating ESG adoption and sustainable development across critical sectors of the economy.
They added that the event would seek to drive ESG mainstreaming in corporate organisations, financial institutions and government agencies, while mobilising sustainable finance through green bonds, carbon markets and impact investing.
