Lagos Business School Sustainability Centre

Sustainability is Now!

As global shifts throw up new demands in environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance frameworks, there is now increasing need fueling new roles to oversee organisational performance in these transitions.

In light of this, the Lagos Business School Sustainability Centre, in partnership with the Business Schools for Climate Leadership Africa (BS4CL Africa), hosted a webinar on Thursday, December 4, 2025, themed, ‘Career Paths in Sustainability & Climate Financing,’ exploring emerging careers, skills, and opportunities shaping the sustainability and climate finance landscape across Africa.

Discussions explored the rising demand for sustainability and climate finance talent across Africa, how global frameworks such as the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) continue to influence organisational priorities, the value of transferable skills, technical curiosity, and sector-specific expertise, as well as the importance of mentorship, professional networks, and continuous learning.

We extend our immense appreciation to our speakers and contributors: Sherwat Elwan Ibrahim, Professor of Operations Management, The American University in Cairo & Chair, UN Global Compact PRME Chapter Africa; Chinwe Ajene-Sagna, Member, Faculty, Lagos Business School and Member, BS4CL Africa; Anthony Kitema, Programme Officer, Initiative for Sustainable Landscapes (ISLA) Programme; Jonathan Ikeolumba, Alumnus, Lagos Business School and Post- Doctoral Fellow, LBS Sustainability Centre; Theresa Daniel-Akibor, Manager, Programmes Design and Management, LBS Sustainability Centre; and Kelechi Nnamdi, Senior Associate, Research and Industry Engagement, LBS Sustainability Centre.

The 2025 LBS International Sustainability Conference (ISC); a transformative two-day gathering that convened business leaders, industry experts, policy makers, and sustainability champions across Africa and beyond, left no one in doubt of how businesses in Africa can posture to ride the wave of the global green transition.

This year’s theme, “The Green Africa Economic Promise: Unlocking Value Through Corporate Sustainability,” guided rich conversations on how organisations can attract capital, derisk assets and attain long-term competitiveness by embedding sustainability in their business strategy.

The insights were profound, the conversations inspiring, and the rallying call to action more timely than ever.

To our speakers: Prof Kemi Ogunyemi, Caninnah Dladla, Dr Ndidi Edozien, Victor Banjo, Bastian Buck, Edwin Masaku Mutinda, Dr Iheanyi Anyahara, Wale Adisa, Eniola Akinsete, Ejiro Gray, Victoria Uwadoka Anyianuka, Shakira Mustapha, Oluseun Solanke-Ebhojie, Yosola Onanuga, Dr James Adenuga, Tshepo Ntsane, Demola Ogundeyi, Temilade Olabanji, Toluwani Alao, Andrews Akoto-Addo, Jonathan Ikeolumba, Khadija Williams, Rukayat Alli-Oluwafuyi, Mariam Jimoh Ajoke, Demola Ogundeyi and Tolu Thompson, we say a big thank you.

We are equally grateful to our partners: Shared Value Africa, Global Reporting Initiative, Nestlé Nigeria, and PricewaterHouseCoopers (PwC) for their support in making this year’s conference a success.

We appreciate our facilitators and co-facilitators: Tomi Adepoju, Godfrey Ikiebey, Olawunmi Asekun, Yewande Adeyi, and Wendy Nmazua who delivered the Masterclasses on Day 1. To participants and the incredible ISC planning team, we owe you our immense gratitude for amplifying our vision and strengthening the collective momentum toward a greener and more prosperous Africa.

The work continues. And together, we pace closer to realising Africa’s green and sustainability-driven economic promise.
