Ethnic Diversity and Social Sustainability of Business Organisation

Abstract

Studies indicate that the consciousness and importance of environmental, economic and social issues has become vital to oil exploration in Nigeria and around the world. It has been over twenty years since the Brundtland Report drew the attention of the world to the need to re-examine the corporate firm’s behaviour and ways of increasing use of resources with little or no interest for either the environment or future generations (Guterres & Spiegel 2012). Nonetheless, this notion remains elusive within the region of Nigeria and its environs since, oil and gas multinationals and indigenous corporations within the region still express deficiencies in behavioural and attitudinal change, which do not bode well for sustainable development in the long term.
