本研究は、ナイジェリア上場企業148社の2010~2025年のパネルデータを用い、トリプルボトムライン(TBL)報告が財務パフォーマンス(ROA)に与える影響を検証した。ガバナンス品質は有意に正の効果を示し、環境・社会開示は企業規模・業種に依存して中程度の正の関係が見られた。大手監査法人の関与がESG-パフォーマンス関係を強化する。

This study investigates the effect of triple bottom line (TBL) reporting on financial performance of 148 Nigerian listed firms (2010–2025). Governance quality positively affects ROA, while environmental and social disclosure have contingent positive effects. Big 4 audit engagement strengthens the ESG–performance link.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX文脈では、SSBJや有報でのサステナビリティ開示基準が整備される中、新興国におけるESG開示と財務パフォーマンスの関連性を実証した点が参考になる。ただしナイジェリア固有の制度要因に留意が必要。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence from an underexplored African market, challenging the assumption that TBL reporting harms short-term financial performance. It adds to global debate on ESG materiality and the role of audit quality, relevant for ISSB and CSRD discussions about emerging economies.

📄 Abstract(原文)
This study investigates the effect of triple bottom line (TBL) reporting on the financial performance of quoted firms in Nigeria, using environmental, social, and governance (ESG) metrics as proxies for TBL dimensions. Drawing on an unbalanced panel dataset of 148 firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) over the period 2010–2025, the study employs fixed-effects and random-effects panel regression models with robust standard errors, augmented by Hausman specification tests, variance inflation factor (VIF) diagnostics, and heteroscedasticity corrections. Financial performance is measured through return on assets (ROA), while TBL reporting is captured through environmental disclosure scores, social disclosure scores, and governance quality indices. Control variables include firm size, financial leverage, Big 4 audit firm dummy, industry dummies, and year dummies. Results reveal that governance quality exerts a statistically significant and positive effect on financial performance, while environmental and social disclosure scores demonstrate a positive but moderately significant relationship contingent on firm size and industry membership. Leverage is negatively associated with performance, and Big 4 audit engagement positively moderates the ESG–performance relationship. The findings contribute empirical evidence to the largely underexplored African context, challenge the normative assumption that TBL reporting universally impairs short-term financial performance, and offer actionable implications for regulators, investors, and corporate boards in Nigeria's evolving sustainability landscape.
