Background of the Study
Environmental sustainability has become a strategic priority for firms seeking to balance profitability with ecological responsibility. Nigerian Breweries, one of the leading beverage manufacturers in Nigeria, has implemented various sustainability initiatives, such as reducing carbon emissions, managing water resources, and minimizing waste.
The link between environmental sustainability and financial performance has gained attention as firms increasingly recognize the cost savings, brand enhancement, and regulatory compliance benefits associated with sustainable practices (PwC Nigeria, 2024). This study examines the relationship between environmental sustainability and the financial performance of Nigerian Breweries, providing insights into best practices and their outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
While environmental sustainability offers significant benefits, its implementation in Nigerian firms remains inconsistent due to cost concerns, limited expertise, and inadequate regulatory frameworks. Nigerian Breweries’ efforts in sustainability provide a model, yet the financial implications of these practices are underexplored.
This study addresses the gap by analyzing how environmental sustainability influences the financial performance of Nigerian Breweries, shedding light on the broader implications for the Nigerian corporate sector.
