Dun & Bradstreet, a provider of business data and analytics, has announced the launch of its ESG RegisteredTM product to help companies in Nigeria project their Environmental, Social, and Governance credentials on a global level.
In a statement by the firm on Sunday, the firm said that the new product would help organisations gain an edge over the competition through an industry-trusted seal.
“Through the release of this cutting-edge product, Dun & Bradstreet will recognise companies committed to sustainable business practices and award them a certificate with ESG ratings,” the statement read.
Country Head at Dun & Bradstreet Nigeria, Womo Diriyai, highlighted that by combining technology with ESG data, the company will recognize organisations committed to sustainability by rewarding them with a badge of recognition that widens their projection at a global scale.
Diriyai said, “With the rapid growth in digitalisation in Nigeria, it is essential to implement technology to assure a green future. ESG RegisteredTM is an all-in-one solution for responsible companies looking to showcase their ESG performance and fill gaps in adherence to the ESG guidelines.”
ESG is a framework used to assess an organisation’s business practices and performance on various sustainability and ethical issues. It also provides a way to measure business risks and opportunities in those areas.
