A concise guide to Nigeria's 2026 Sustainability Reporting Guideline — readiness, internal controls, implementation expectations and the path to mandatory adoption.
SRG 1 2026 is Nigeria's operational guidance for applying IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards. The Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria unveiled the amended adoption roadmap and SRG 1 on 23 February 2026. The guidance explains adoption methodology, readiness assessment, assurance-related expectations and implementation matters for entities preparing IFRS S1/S2-aligned sustainability disclosures.
This summary is educational and should be read with the current FRC roadmap, SRG 1 and applicable FRC rules.

A practical look at PFA stewardship, investment-governance evidence and ESG data discipline using PenCom's current published guidance.
For PFAs, ESG is increasingly connected to stewardship, governance and the quality of investment oversight. PenCom's official regulatory library lists its Guidelines on Stewardship Responsibilities by PFA, published on 4 July 2026. That makes stewardship a more defensible resource-page focus than unsupported deadline or penalty claims.
Always check the latest PenCom circulars and guidelines for the exact obligations applicable to a PFA and reporting period.

How financed emissions, attribution and PCAF Data Quality Scores help financial institutions build more transparent portfolio emissions reporting.
PCAF provides a standardised approach for financial institutions to measure and report greenhouse-gas emissions associated with financial activities. Its Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard includes Part A for financed emissions, while the 2025 third edition expands the methodologies available to financial institutions.
For IFRS S2 reporting, Scope 3 measurement is connected to the GHG Protocol framework, including Category 15 investment activities where applicable. The precise disclosure required depends on the reporting entity's facts, materiality and applicable requirements.
