Norrenberger to launch Nigeria’s first Corporate sustainability benchmarking report 

Norrenberger Research is set to unveil the Nigerian Corporate Sustainability Report (NCSR) in a move aimed at deepening transparency and accountability in corporate Nigeria.

The report, described as a first-of-its-kind benchmarking tool, will be launched on Tuesday in Abuja and is designed to assess and track sustainability performance across publicly listed companies in the country.

According to the firm, the NCSR introduces a structured, data-driven framework for evaluating corporate performance across key environmental, social, and governance (ESG) indicators, areas that are increasingly shaping investment decisions globally and locally.

The launch, themed “Strengthening Sustainable Practices in Corporate Nigeria,” is expected to bring together senior executives, regulators, investors and policy leaders to discuss the growing importance of sustainability in capital allocation and business strategy.

Norrenberger Research noted that the report goes beyond voluntary disclosures by providing measurable benchmarks that highlight both progress and gaps across sectors, offering stakeholders a clearer basis for comparison.

Speaking ahead of the event, Tony Edeh, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, in a statement said the initiative seeks to redefine how sustainability is approached in Nigeria’s corporate space.

“For too long, sustainability has been discussed without a consistent basis for measurement. What this report does is introduce a level of transparency and accountability that allows performance to be assessed more objectively,” he said.

Edeh added that the report would contribute to ongoing conversations around corporate governance, responsible business conduct and long-term value creation within the private sector.

According to the statement, The event will feature the public presentation of the report, keynote addresses and a panel discussion focused on integrating sustainability into corporate strategy.

Analysts say that as ESG considerations gain prominence among global and domestic investors, tools that provide standardised and comparable data will play an increasingly critical role in shaping Nigeria’s investment landscape.

The Nigerian Corporate Sustainability Report is expected to be published annually.
