The use of non-renewable energy by firms in Nigeria seriously affects biodiversity and the general well-being of the populace. The consequences led the country to be among the top pollution producers globally. However, Nigeria recently mandated all companies to comply with environmental disclosure The study examines the effect of corporate board attributes on the energy disclosure by the listed non- financial companies in Nigeria. The quantitative research was used obtained data using content analysis technique from sampled firms and energy disclosure using GRI standard. The study uses sample of 49 listed companies from non-financial companies listed on the floor of Nigerian stock exchange commission for the period of 5 years (2016-2020). The study found insignificant association between ownership and energy disclosure. This should be used as way forward to encourage and compel all listed companies to improve their energy disclosure. Board is expected to encourage disclosure of energy issues. Therefore, firms would benefit and gain legitimacy across demographic, ethnic and religious groups in the society. All listed firms should ensure compliance with Nigerian Corporate Governance code which suggests the establishment of board that could be capable of giving proper direction to the firms. Thus this study documented that board attributes, such as independence, meetings and ownership are essential mechanisms towards general disclosure.
