For this purpose, this paper explores global sustainable business practices with the need to proffer leading sustainable business advisory to business managers and policy makers in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that Government must provide confidence, building strategies, reorient all security apparatus and take positive steps to reposition businesses in Nigeria with supportive and effective regulations. Government should also create friendly and enabling environment that would be conducive for both business organizations and investors to thrive in order to ensure sustainability and growth of the economy.
