Environmental & Social Governance (ESG) Manager

The Problem We’re Solving:

Our ESG story isn’t being told with the rigour our investors demand. Three blind spots are holding us back:

• Governance Reporting: Takes too long. Depends on people who stop to research things they should already know cold.
  
  
• Environmental Footprint: Not fully mapped. Soil health, water use, and input impact remain unstructured at scale.
  
  
• Social Metrics: Scattered. Smallholder welfare and livelihood data lacks the structure our investors and donors expect.
  

• Own investor and donor ESG reporting end -to -end — independently, accurately, on time.
  
• Build ESG data infrastructure from field ops, finance & delivery — no manual chasing.
  
• Develop environmental metrics grounded in what’s measurable: soil, water, inputs.
  
• Lead smallholder welfare tracking: livelihoods, gender inclusion, community impact.
  
• Stay ahead of Nigerian ESG regulations + frameworks (GRI, SASB, SDG alignment).
