Advancing sustainability compliance across one of Africa's largest economies — with technology built for the regulators that matter here.
Novnine ESG was founded to make sustainability reporting accessible, affordable, and actionable for every Nigerian and African organisation — from multinational enterprises to growing SMEs navigating their first ESG disclosure.
We identified a critical gap: Nigerian regulators were establishing world-class ESG reporting requirements, yet no purpose-built technology platform existed that understood the Nigerian regulatory environment deeply enough to meet them. Organisations were spending significant sums on consultants for work that should be systematic, continuous, and technology-led.
Every ESG platform we evaluated was built for European or North American markets — adapted, not designed, for Nigerian realities. They did not understand CBN's nine Sustainable Banking Principles. They did not know what PENCOM requires of a pension fund administrator. They had never heard of FRCN SRG 1. Their emission factors used global averages, not Nigeria's actual IEA electricity data.
Novnine ESG was built to change that — a Nigerian-built platform meeting international standards, serving African organisations, and making ESG compliance a competitive advantage rather than a compliance burden.
To make sustainability reporting accessible, affordable, and accurate for every regulated Nigerian organisation — from national institutions to growing enterprises entering their first reporting cycle.
To be Africa's leading ESG compliance intelligence platform — the definitive system of record for sustainability disclosure across Nigeria and the African continent.
Nigeria's capital markets, financial institutions, and industries face increasing pressure from international investors to demonstrate ESG governance. How Nigeria meets this challenge defines the standard for the continent.
Three commitments that shape every decision in how we build.
We use Nigeria's actual IEA electricity factor, not a global average. We use IPCC AR6 (2021) GWP values, not outdated figures. We never fabricate regulatory citations. Defensible accuracy matters more than convenient simplicity.
A PFA managing hundreds of billions of naira should not have an easier path to ESG compliance than a small NGO trying to retain an international donor. Our pricing and platform design ensure every regulated Nigerian organisation can participate.
African organisations deserve software built for their regulatory environment, not adapted from tools designed elsewhere. Every module was designed from Nigerian requirements outward — not from foreign standards inward.
Our advisory capability extends the platform with expert human judgement for organisations that want more than automated compliance.
Our advisory capability includes professionals registered with the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, providing ongoing guidance to ensure the platform's compliance architecture reflects current regulatory requirements and professional standards.
Advisory engagements are available as standalone projects or integrated with your platform subscription — covering FRCN readiness consulting, ESG strategy development, board training, regulator liaison, policy development, and AML/CFT workshops.
The platform does the work. Our advisory ensures your first submission is flawless.
Professionals with direct FRCN engagement and sustainability disclosure expertise for Nigerian regulated entities.
Advisory experience covering PENCOM, CBN, and NAICOM regulatory requirements across PFAs, MFBs, and insurers.
Board sustainability training meeting FRCN Stage 2 Readiness requirements.
Our roadmap for the next five years, built on the foundation of deep Nigerian compliance expertise.
Deepening coverage of every Nigerian regulatory requirement — FRCN, PENCOM, CBN, NAICOM, NGX, and the 14 sector regulators whose specific requirements are built into every module.
Extending the platform across West Africa, then the wider continent — carrying the depth of Nigerian compliance architecture into markets where ESG regulation is accelerating.
Connecting ESG-documented organisations with green finance opportunities — linking the compliance evidence our platform generates with capital flows increasingly conditional on demonstrated sustainability governance.
