Environmental Accounting and Organisational Performance of Listed Industrial Sector Companies in Nigeria

Abstract

Corporate performance in Nigeria is largely determined on how companies treat their environment. Listed oil businesses in Nigeria’s stock exchange were studied for the influence of environmental accounting on their financial performance. An ex-post facto design was used in the research. From the annual reports and financial statements of listed firms on the Nigerian stock exchange, researchers gathered secondary data that was utilized in the study. As proxies for Environment Accounting (EVA), Waste Management Cost (WMC), CDC, and EHSC, the independent variable is Waste Management Cost (WMC) (EHSC). The dependent variable is the company’s performance in terms of return on asset, return on equity, and profit margin. Canonical correlations were used to analyze the data in SPSS version 26. Environmental accounting (waste management costs, community development expenses, employee health and safety costs) and organizational performance (Return on assets, return on equity, and profit margin) of listed industrial sector businesses in Nigeria have a substantial association. Other recommendations included making environmental accounting in annual reports mandatory, as most companies do not declare their environmental operations in their annual reports.
