PwC, LBS partner on sustainability
PwC Nigeria and Lagos Business School (LBS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver specialised sustainability and climate-focused capacity-building programmes for sustainability professionals, senior executives and board members
PwC Nigeria and Lagos Business School (LBS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deliver specialised sustainability and climate-focused capacity-building programmes for sustainability professionals, senior executives and board members across Nigerian organisations.
Partner and Business School Leader, PwC Nigeria, Uloma Ojinmah said the collaboration with the Lagos Business School would enhance sustainability capability across Nigerian organisations.
“Drawing on PwC’s advisory experience across sectors and LBS’s executive education expertise, we are equipping professionals and leaders to integrate sustainability into strategy, capital allocation, risk management and operational execution in ways that support resilience and long-term enterprise value,” Ojinmah said.
Partner, ESG, Sustainability & Climate Change, PwC Nigeria, Marilyn Obaisa-Osula, said the ability of organisations to create long-term stakeholder value and sustain growth is increasingly shaped by how effectively they manage sustainability and ESG.
According to her, organisations that build the capability across employees, executive leadership and boards are better positioned to anticipate risk, respond to regulatory expectations and gain competitive advantage.
The collaboration brought together PwC Sustainability Academy and LBS Sustainability Centre to advance sustainability capability across organisations, from employees and technical specialists to executive leadership and boards.

PwC contributes industry-led advisory insight and practitioner experience across sectors. Lagos Business School contributes academic rigour, research depth and executive learning design grounded in African business realities.
Investors, regulators and stakeholders increasingly expect organisations to demonstrate credible sustainability performance, transparent disclosure and effective climate risk management. These expectations influence governance structures, reporting frameworks, operational processes and investment decisions. Where capability is uneven across employees, executives and boards, sustainability priorities can fail to shape core strategy or translate into measurable business outcomes.
Director, LBS Sustainability Centre, Lagos Business School, Oreva Atanya, said Lagos Business School remains committed to developing responsible leaders who inspire Africa’s growth.
“Sustainability is integral to how businesses create economic value, and address climate, environmental, and social concerns. Through the LBS Sustainability Centre, we continue to equip leaders with the insight and discipline required to embed sustainability into governance, strategy and performance management. This collaboration with PwC extends that work by linking academic depth with practitioner experience, enabling organisations to build sustainability capability that is credible, policy-relevant and aligned with national development priorities,” Atanya said.
With this collaboration, both organisations aim to improve sustainability capability across the wider business landscape. The programmes develop practical understanding of climate risk, sustainability strategy and evolving regulatory expectations, and equip participants to embed these insights into governance systems, performance management and institutional processes.
Following the signing of the MoU, programme delivery commences in 2026 and is open to participants across sectors.
