Abstract
The increase in global environmental awareness and the campaign for
sustainable economic development is redirecting the attention of firms towards
environmental sensitivity. Multinational oil companies in Nigeria extract a large
amount of the world’s energy but treat the indigenous resident with neglect as claimed by oil producing communities. While on the other hand, the oil companies are claiming to be discharging their environmental responsibility. Therefore, the study examines the impact of environmental responsibility on the performance of
quoted Nigerian oil companies. Correlational research design is adopted using
multiple regression as tool of analysis for the study. The result reveals that
environmental responsibility has significant impact on the performance of quoted
oil companies in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that the management of oil
companies should increase charitable contribution among others to their host
community
