ESQ Nigerian Legal Awards respectively.
NSE
emerged the winner of the "Best Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative
award (Promoting Sustainability & Reporting)" at the 9th edition
of the Marketing World Award held on Friday, November 8, 2019, in Ghana. This
award is in recognition of the remarkable initiatives implemented by NSE to

Communications Professional of The Year".
Similarly,
the ESQ Nigerian Legal Awards, on Friday, November 1, 2019, named NSE Legal

several innovative ideas and playing major roles in key projects of The
Exchange and the Nigerian capital market at large.
Commenting
on the awards, Mr. Bola Adeeko, Head, Shared Services Division, NSE, stated
that, "we are most honoured to receive both awards. This achievement is a testament
to the efficiency of our service offering and commitment to excellence. It is
also a testament of our commitment to creating a sustainable future through our
Corporate Sustainability and Responsibility (CSR) activities. These awards
serve as recognition for the assiduous efforts of our employees to achieve our
aspiration to provide investors and businesses with a reliable, efficient and
adaptable exchange hub in Africa, to save and to access capital".
Foremost
amongst the CSR initiatives The Exchange was lauded for was the launch of the
Sustainability Disclosure Guidelines, which articulates the approach to
integrating sustainability into an organisation's activities alongside
indicators that should be considered when providing annual disclosure on Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) issues. The NSE also introduced the Facts
Behind the Sustainability Report platform, which was designed to further
promote the adoption of ESG practices, reporting, and disclosure while
encouraging responsible long-term approaches to investment across the Nigerian
capital market.
