You are cordially invited to the 13th Sustainability in the Extractive Industries (SITEI) Conference, taking place on Tuesday, 22 October 2024, in Victoria Island, Lagos. This year’s theme, “Extractives for Green Growth: The Strategic Role of Extractives in the Just Transition into an Inclusive Green Economy,” underscores the essential role of the extractive sector in promoting a sustainable and inclusive green economy.
Since its inception in 2012, the Sustainability in the Extractive Industries (SITEI) Conference has grown to become the most impactful sustainability-focused annual conference in the extractive sector. It serves as a platform for critical conversations on social, environmental, and governance issues, providing businesses and governments with targeted tools, activities, and policies to address these challenges. Our interactions with key stakeholders over the years have revealed the detrimental effects of factors such as environmental changes, unequal access to employment, limited involvement in decision-making, disruptions to social patterns, land inaccessibility, and increased vulnerability.
While the extractive industries – oil and gas, mining and agriculture – hold promise for progress in host communities, they also present risks if not managed effectively. Since our inaugural conference, we have been dedicated to positively impacting the Nigerian extractive industries, and our work speaks for itself.Â
We take pride in our integrity and have enjoyed the support of reputable brands such as the Ford Foundation, who provides holistic programme support, as well as other leading industry institutions.
Organised by CSR-in-Action Advocacy, our renowned and award-winning non-profit, the SITEI 2024 Conference will gather stakeholders from government, industry, civil society, academia, and local communities. This event aims to foster meaningful dialogue, share best practices, and catalyse collaborative action towards sustainability.
