NGX Group advances ESG agenda

Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX Group) has reinforced its commitment to environmental sustainability.

As a leading market infrastructure group, NGX Group continues to integrate Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles across its operations and stakeholder engagements, demonstrating its commitment to sustainable development, long-term value creation, and positive impact within the communities it serves.

NGX Group showed this during a recent community cleanup exercise at Marina, Lagos, held in commemoration of World Environment Day 2026 in partnership with the Lagos State Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Recyclers Association of Nigeria (RAN).

Consistent with NGX Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) framework, the exercise forms part of the Group’s Environmental Pillar, which promotes responsible environmental practices within its operations and across the wider community through recycling, awareness, and sustainability-focused interventions.

“At NGX Group, sustainability is not just a responsibility; it is fundamental to our vision of creating long-term value. This cleanup exercise reflects our commitment to translating that vision into action by supporting environmental stewardship within the communities where we operate. Through our collaboration with LAWMA and RAN, we are helping to promote responsible waste management while demonstrating the value of collective action in addressing environmental challenges. Sustainable development requires broad participation, and we are proud to contribute meaningfully to that effort,” said Clifford Akpolo, Head, Group Communications and Partnerships, NGX Group.

He noted that collaboration between the private sector and public agencies plays an important role in strengthening waste management and recycling systems while fostering greater environmental awareness within communities.

The activity brought together employee volunteers from NGX Group and representatives of both partner organisations to promote responsible waste management, environmental awareness, and community engagement. Beyond supporting cleaner public spaces and encouraging proper disposal practices, it provided staff with an opportunity to contribute directly to environmental and community causes, reflecting the Group’s commitment to employee volunteering and responsible corporate citizenship.
