Background of the Study

Effective waste management is a critical component of sustainability in urban areas. Sustainability audits serve as tools for evaluating waste management practices, ensuring resource efficiency, and promoting environmental health. In Nigeria, urban centers like Lagos face significant challenges in waste management due to population growth, limited infrastructure, and inadequate regulatory enforcement (World Bank, 2024).

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) plays a pivotal role in managing waste in Nigeria’s largest city. Sustainability audits have become essential for evaluating LAWMA’s performance, identifying gaps, and developing strategies to improve waste collection, recycling, and disposal.

This study explores the impact of sustainability audits on waste management practices at LAWMA, focusing on their effectiveness in addressing the city’s waste challenges.

Statement of the Problem

Waste management remains a pressing issue in Lagos, with challenges such as inadequate infrastructure, high waste generation rates, and poor public awareness. Sustainability audits can provide actionable insights, but their adoption and implementation face obstacles, including resource constraints and data accuracy issues.

This study investigates how sustainability audits impact waste management practices at LAWMA, highlighting their role in promoting efficiency and environmental health.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To assess the impact of sustainability audits on waste management practices at LAWMA.

  2. To identify challenges affecting the implementation of sustainability audits in Nigerian waste management agencies.

  3. To recommend strategies for enhancing waste management through sustainability audits.

Research Questions

  1. How do sustainability audits impact waste management practices at LAWMA?

  2. What challenges affect the implementation of sustainability audits in Nigerian waste management agencies?

  3. What strategies can enhance waste management practices through sustainability audits?

Research Hypotheses

  1. H₁: Sustainability audits significantly improve waste management practices at LAWMA.

  2. H₂: Challenges such as resource constraints hinder the implementation of sustainability audits in Nigerian waste management agencies.

  3. H₃: Enhanced sustainability auditing practices lead to better waste management outcomes.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study focuses on LAWMA, evaluating the impact of sustainability audits on its waste management practices from 2023 to 2025. Limitations include limited access to data on informal waste management activities and rapidly changing environmental policies.

Definitions of Terms

  • Sustainability Audits: Assessments of organizational practices to ensure alignment with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
