Abstract
The impact of corporate governance on the adoption of sustainable business practices in Nigeria
is the main focus of this study. It is impossible to overstate the importance of corporate governance
in the implementation of sustainable business practices, especially in a developing country like
Nigeria. Cross-sectional survey methodology was used in this study with the deductive approach
to descriptive research to model the effect of corporate governance on sustainable business
practices in Nigeria. This study examined how corporate governance influenced key indicators of
sustainable business practices, including regulatory environment, good corporate citizenship,
codes of business ethics, treatment of stakeholders and accountability of managers. The results of
this study indicate that, for the purposes of this study, corporate governance had a favorable effect
on sustainable business practices in Nigeria. The researchers recommend that organizational
management should pay particular attention to the full implementation of corporate governance
practices as this has a positive effect on sustainable business practices in Nigeria.
