LAPO Microfinance Bank is leading the advocacy for the adoption of sustainable practices among operators in the micro-finance sub-sector in Nigeria. In 2019, as a member of the Global Alliance for Banking for Values (GABV), LAPO hosted the first-ever international sustainability conference in Nigeria, themed “Enhancing Sustainable Finance in the Microfinance Subsector”.
Global Sustainability, Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) experts from both public and organized private sector engaged in critical discussions that focused on the strategic importance of the adoption of sustainable financing and the potentials it portends for sustainable economic growth.
Post-event Communiqué was transmitted to industry stakeholders and relevant Government and Non-Governmental Organizations with the sole aim of influencing adoption by operators and policy formulation by the regulators.
