Axxel Vows To Sustain Promotion Of Carbon Emission Reduction
A gas and power portfolio company in sub-Saharan Africa, Axxela Limited said it will catalyze investment opportunities in line with existing measures to sustain carbon emissions reduction in Nigeria’s oil industry.
The previous efforts led the company’s recognitions for outstanding contribution to Nigeria’s energy transition and long-standing commitment to sustainable energy access for industrial development.
The company emerged as the Winner, Carbon Reduction & Clean Energy Leader of the Year and Runner-Up, Most Sustainable Company of the Year at the 2025 Social Impact and Sustainability Awards (SISA), organised by CSR Reporters.
Through the expansion of its natural gas infrastructure and the delivery of cleaner energy to over 200 industrial customers, Axxela has helped reduce more than 703,000 tonnes of CO₂ in a single year, one of the largest private-sector-driven sustainability achievements in Nigeria.
Additionally, Axxela’s EcoVadis Gold Rating, which places it among the top 5 per cent of companies assessed globally across key ESG pillars, underscores the company’s commitment to transitioning industries from heavy fuels to cleaner, more cost-efficient energy solutions while also enhancing responsible industrial practices.
Commenting on the dual recognitions, group chief executive officer of Axxela Limited, Timothy Ononiwu, said, “These recognitions validate our long-term vision for sustainability and cleaner energy delivery.
We remain committed to expanding our impact across Nigeria’s industrial sector and accelerating the nation’s low-carbon transition.
“Our approach to sustainability is practical, intentional, and deeply rooted in the way we serve our customers across diverse industries.”
Reinforcing this perspective, director of Corporate Operations, Axxela, Tuoyo Ejueyitchie, highlighted the significance of the company’s sustainability and ESG achievements. “For us at Axxela, we are proud that our sustainability and ESG strategies are yielding measurable results.
“We believe that true operational excellence means delivering value responsibly, balancing environmental stewardship, social impact, and sound governance to create long-term sustainability for our stakeholders.
