The Background
& Rationale

In recent years, the world has witnessed a significant shift in the way businesses operate, with a growing emphasis on sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social impact.

The urgent need to address climate change, environmental degradation, and social inequality has led to a global call for action, with governments, corporations, and civil society organizations working together to promote sustainable development.

The Background and Rationale

Global Context

The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement on climate change have provided a framework for global action.

The European Union’s Green Deal and the US’s Climate Action Plan are examples of regional initiatives aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable growth.

African and Nigerian Context.

Africa, with its vast natural resources, rapidly growing population, and increasing economic influence, is critical to the global sustainability agenda.

Nigeria, as Africa’s largest economy, has a pivotal role to play in driving sustainable development on the continent.

Recent Developments in Nigeria.

In a significant move, the Nigerian government has recently endorsed and adopted the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Sustainability Disclosure Standards and Reporting.

This development underscores the government’s commitment to promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility in the corporate sector.

Against this backdrop, Green Africa Associates and Alliances was established to support Nigerian and African businesses in navigating the complex landscape of sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social impact.

Our mission is to provide expert guidance, strategic support, and innovative solutions to help organizations embed sustainability into their DNA, operations, drive growth, and contribute to a greener and more prosperous Africa.

By establishing Green Africa Associates and Alliances, we aim to:

1. Promote sustainability awareness: Raise awareness about the importance of sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social impact in African businesses.

2. Support sustainable business practices: Provide expert guidance and strategic support to help organizations adopt sustainable business practices, reduce their environmental footprint, and improve their social impact.

3. Foster partnerships and collaborations: Facilitate partnerships and collaborations between businesses, governments, civil society organizations, and research institutions to drive sustainable development in Africa.

By achieving our purpose, we hope to contribute to a future where African businesses are leaders in sustainability, environmental responsibility, and social impact, driving growth, prosperity, and a better quality of life for all.
