Novnine ESG transforms your operational data into board-ready sustainability disclosures — purpose-built for Nigeria's evolving ESG regulatory landscape and accessible to organisations from national institutions to growing enterprises.
A structured 17-point Readiness Assessment across governance, policy, and disclosure — with auto-generated Gap Analysis, Board Resolution, ICSR, Implementation Plan, and more. Know your exact readiness score, in writing, ready for your board.
See the FRCN Readiness Assessment →Nigerian organisations across every regulated sector face the same challenge — binding ESG deadlines, complex multi-framework requirements, and until now, no purpose-built Nigerian technology to meet them.
The FRCN Amendment Act 2023 granted the Council new powers to fine and prosecute Public Interest Entities — including imprisonment provisions — for non-compliance with accounting and reporting standards. Under SRG 1 (February 2026), voluntary adoption is underway now, with mandatory sustainability disclosure phasing in for large Public Interest Entities from January 2028.
Pension Revolution 2.0 raised minimum capital requirements substantially, with PENCOM's Sustainable Finance Principles requiring full ESG stewardship integration into investment decision-making — engagement tracking, proxy voting records, and watchlist management across the entire portfolio. Investors committing recapitalisation funding will demand ESG governance documentation. PFAs face a regulatory and capital-market challenge simultaneously.
NGX-listed companies must include IFRS S1/S2-aligned sustainability disclosures in their Annual Report. The NGX Net-Zero Programme launched January 2026 with structured requirements. Premium Board companies face a 2027 mandatory deadline.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requires Nigerian exporters to Europe to declare the carbon content of goods from 2026. Without documented carbon data, exporters risk losing EU market access or facing margin-eroding border levies.
The lesson from every regulator rollout: the companies that start early, while it's voluntary, are never the ones scrambling when it becomes mandatory.
Across PFAs, national MFBs, insurers, manufacturers, and NGOs — the challenges are remarkably consistent.
We had twelve months of data scattered across six departments in spreadsheets and WhatsApp messages. By the time we assembled it, we had no confidence in the numbers — and no time to verify them.
Our PENCOM obligations are real. We knew we needed financed emissions under IFRS S2, but no tool existed that understood what that means for a Nigerian pension fund. Everything we evaluated was built for European banks.
We paid a consultant a significant fee for a report covering six months of data, with no branch breakdown, that had to be completely redone the following year. We needed a system, not a one-time engagement.
Our EU donor required IFRS S1/S2-aligned ESG reporting as a grant condition for 2026. We had never encountered these frameworks and had no idea where to begin.
NAICOM expects climate risk in our underwriting decisions and our own disclosure by 2027. Nobody on our team could explain what underwriting emissions even were, let alone calculate them.
Not global averages. Every calculation uses Nigeria-specific, IPCC AR6 (2021) science and IEA Nigeria electricity data — the factors referenced by IFRS S2 and FRCN SRG 1.
Complete GHG disclosure including PCAF financed emissions (Category 15) — the standard most Nigerian platforms have not implemented. Refrigerant and HFC emissions tracked using IPCC AR6 GWP values — a category most platforms ignore entirely, yet IFRS S2 requires.
Nigeria grid factor applied to all electricity. Diesel, petrol, and LPG per IPCC 2006 Volume 2. AR6 GWP values for R-410A, R-134a, R-32, R-22, R-404A and more. Science that FRCN, GHG Protocol, and international auditors all accept.
Financed emissions for PFAs, banks, and insurers. Type 1 covers investment portfolios and loan books. Type 2 covers insurance-associated underwriting emissions — rarely built by any African platform. Data Quality Score documented automatically.
Emissions per unit of output — per ₦billion of assets, per tonne produced, per revenue million. The metric investors and NGX use to assess whether your business is decoupling growth from emissions. Calculated automatically, disclosed per IFRS S2.
Your regulatory profile activates automatically during onboarding. A PFA sees PENCOM metrics. An MFB sees CBN's nine principles individually tracked. An insurer sees NAICOM underwriting ESG. Nothing needs manual configuration.
Every data point becomes verified ESG intelligence — scored against current regulatory requirements and tracked toward your deadlines in real time.
No configuration required. Every framework, emission factor, and compliance requirement is already embedded — designed from Nigerian requirements outward, not adapted from foreign templates.
The only platform guiding Nigerian organisations through all 17 FRCN Readiness requirements across 3 stages. Board resolutions, GAP analyses, sustainability policies, and ESRMF documents generated automatically — guided and largely automated, a process typically handled manually by external consultants.
Structured IFRS S1/S2 disclosures generated from your verified data. Framework versions tracked and applied automatically. TCFD-aligned through full IFRS S2 compliance. Supports CDP questionnaire data requirements. Approved by your FRC-registered signatory before submission.
Full Scope 1, 2, and 3 using Nigeria's IEA electricity factor and IPCC AR6 (2021) GWP values. Refrigerant and HFC emissions tracked — a category most platforms ignore but IFRS S2 requires. PCAF financed emissions for financial institutions. All methodology disclosed.
Built for institutions with 10 to 200+ branches. Each branch manager submits through a restricted login showing only their own form. Head office sees everything aggregated automatically. No Excel consolidation. No WhatsApp collection. No manual month-end reconciliation.
Your organisation automatically receives the correct ESG metrics, disclosures, templates, and reporting guidance based on its industry and regulator — CBN, PENCOM, NAICOM, NGX, NESREA, NUPRC, NMDPRA, NEPC, NCAA, NPA, NIMASA, NUC, NHIA, SEC Nigeria, BOI/DFI, NDPC, and more. Each activates its specific data fields, compliance checklist, and report sections automatically from your onboarding profile.
Novnine ESG doesn't just calculate financed emissions. It calculates PCAF-attributed emissions, prepares the Category 15 portfolio disclosure, and gives banks a commercial-lending breakdown by sector, asset class, borrower emissions scope, exposure coverage and calculation methodology.
Bring structured operational ESG data into Novnine through API-enabled workflows, reducing repetitive manual entry while preserving the platform's validation, calculation and reporting controls.
Map sustainability data to registered disclosure concepts for structured digital reporting preparation, strengthening IFRS S1/S2-aligned workflows and readiness for machine-readable sustainability reporting.
What traditionally requires consultants, spreadsheets, and months of coordination is now a structured, automated process your team manages internally — year-round, not annually.
Your team inputs monthly environmental data, quarterly social metrics, and annual governance data through purpose-built forms, while API-enabled workflows can bring in structured operational data where integration is required. Role-based access across 7 permission levels means each person sees only what their job requires — Environmental & Climate Manager, Social & People Data Manager, Finance Risk & Governance Manager, Branch Data Manager, and more.
Every data point is verified, scored, and mapped to your regulatory framework automatically. FRCN Readiness tracks in real time, regulatory deadline alerts surface for your specific regulators, branch data aggregates without manual intervention, and registered disclosure concepts support XBRL-ready digital reporting preparation.
Your FRC-registered signatory reviews and approves with their FRC number. One action produces a board-ready, IFRS S1/S2-compliant PDF — Statement of Compliance, ICSR, all regulatory overlays, SDG alignment — ready for FRCN submission, board presentation, and investor review.
Traditional consultant-led ESG reporting is slow, expensive, and leaves you with nothing when the engagement ends. Novnine ESG delivers up to 50% cost savings with dramatically better delivery, control, and continuity.
Deep regulatory intelligence for each sector — purpose-built for Nigeria's own compliance requirements.
