1.1 Background of the Study
Sustainable business practices have become a central focus for organizations across the globe, as they seek to balance economic growth with environmental and social responsibility. In Wase Local Government Area, Plateau State, businesses are increasingly adopting sustainability as a core component of their operations, but the role of corporate communication in promoting these practices remains underexplored. Corporate communication plays a crucial role in shaping how businesses communicate their sustainability initiatives to stakeholders, including customers, employees, and the wider community. Effective communication can help businesses build trust, enhance their reputation, and engage in transparent practices that demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. As organizations in Wase Local Government Area work to integrate sustainable practices into their business models, corporate communication strategies can help them convey their efforts, address concerns, and create a more sustainable future. Recent studies have shown that businesses that prioritize sustainability and communicate their efforts effectively are more likely to experience long-term success (Adeyemo & Akinmoladun, 2023). Furthermore, sustainable practices have been linked to improved customer loyalty, better employee satisfaction, and a stronger corporate reputation (Ogundele, 2024). This study aims to explore how corporate communication can support the adoption and promotion of sustainable business practices in Wase Local Government Area, focusing on the strategies employed by businesses to communicate their sustainability efforts.
