The National Institute of Marketing of Nigeria (NIMN) is championing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices at its 2025 Annual Marketing Conference and Annual General Meeting.
At a press conference in Lagos, NIMN Registrar Patience Sado explained that the institute focuses on ESG to promote sustainability for businesses and the environment.
Sado stated, “We want to drive sustainability for businesses and the environment through ESG.” The conference will provide a platform for discussion, knowledge sharing, and collaboration to advance the marketing profession and contribute to national development.
According to Bolaji Junaid, a Fellow of NIMN, “ESG helps businesses understand that they can make a positive impact beyond profits. It’s about sustainability, putting people first, and taking care of the planet.”
Thelma Okoli, an NIMN member, emphasized the importance of personal responsibility towards the environment. She added that the conference will include sessions on recycling and hopes to start an orientation on climate change for those who are unaware. Okoli noted,

“You can begin to store plastic bottles in your home and neighbourhood, and there are even employment opportunities in recycling for those who don’t have jobs.”
