This study examines the effect of sustainability reporting (SR) on financial-performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria from 2010 to 2020. Ex-post facto research design was employed and 24 firms form 8 sectors were sampled. Data were sourced from their annual report and analysed using Panel-regression technique. The study found positive significant connection linking DP, ERS and R&D and financial performance while CRS has negative insignificant effect on financial-performance. Base on the findings, the study concluded that SR has positive influence on financial-performance of listed manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that relevant authorities should encourage firms to report SR on real-time and make reporting compulsory and not voluntary. There should be strict enforcement on firms to increase investment in R&D as this will increase profitability and help climate change.
