ICSAN, ICMR seek sustainable environment to combat climate change

The Institute of Capital Market Registrars (ICMR) and the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators of Nigeria (ICSAN) have urged important corporate stakeholders to seriously consider sustainability issues, such as lowering their carbon footprint, to prevent negative effects on our continent.

Sustainability and the Global Governance Workplace: The Role of the Corporate Secretaries, Registrars, and Issuers was the theme of the 2023 corporate secretaries and registrars’ meeting, where the call was made.

Experts at the event stated that supporting sustainable development and a dedication to social advancement, environmental balance, and economic growth is the best way to address many of the problems that humanity is currently facing, such as climate change.

The 2030 agenda, which includes sustainable development goals and a call to action to protect the environment and ensure human well-being on a global scale, was accepted by the United Nations (UN) as part of a new sustainable development roadmap. They claimed that the crucial role played by company secretaries, registrars, and issuers in achieving this goal cannot be overstated.

In his remarks, the president of ICSAN, Taiwo Owokalade, said: “When we talk about sustainability, most times people think it’s just something that has to do with the outside environment or on the field. But the environment is an all-encompassing thing because the places where we work are also environments.

“If you look back 20 or 40 years, it was not the same way we now work because back then we dealt with manual issues, but this day, we have moved on. The more we discuss “smart environments,” he stressed.

Additionally, the president of ICMR, Mr. Seyi Owoturo, stated that, as custodians of people’s wealth, “we have obligations in terms of our behavior, not only in managing that wealth but also in how we interact with our various stakeholders.”

He clarified that “in terms of how we interact with our stakeholders, our businesses, and the environment, sustainability is at the forefront and transcends the conduct issue.

The types of activities we engage in and the, in which we carry out our work are all interconnected, right down to and including our workspace and the methods by which we inspire and motivate our staff to work hard.”
