A New Push for Sustainable Finance in Nigeria
In a move aimed at mitigating climate change, The Financial Centre for Sustainability (FC4SL) has called on stakeholders to prioritize sustainable finance for a clean and climate-friendly environment in Nigeria. The center made this plea during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Redwood Consulting, a leading brand, marketing, and communications strategy firm, in Lagos.
FC4SL, a reputable voice in the sustainability space, aims to empower the financial sector to play a crucial role in addressing climate change. According to its Executive Secretary, Mr. Emmanuel Etaderhi, financial institutions have the power to catalyze the transition to a low-carbon economy by directing investments towards sustainable projects.
“Financial institutions can make a significant impact by prioritizing green financing and integrating environmental, social, and governance factors into their decision-making processes,” Etaderhi emphasized. “We urge financial institutions to increase their investments in green projects and adopt sustainable financing practices.”
The partnership between FC4SL and Redwood Consulting marks a significant milestone in the center’s mission to influence policy, engage with stakeholders, and drive positive change. The collaboration will enable FC4SL to strengthen its brand and communicate its programs and activities more effectively.
Redwood Consulting’s Managing Director, Hannah Oyebanjo, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, saying, “We are delighted to work with FC4SL on this important initiative. Their commitment to sustainability aligns perfectly with our values, and we look forward to contributing to their success.”
With this partnership, FC4SL will leverage Redwood Consulting’s expertise to develop a comprehensive communications strategy, focusing on brand communication, messaging, media relations, and stakeholder engagement. This effort aims to elevate FC4SL’s profile as a leading voice in the sustainability space and connect with domestic and international stakeholders to support clean and climate-friendly initiatives through innovation, partnerships, and capacity development.
