The entire listed consumer goods manufacturing companies in the Nigerian Exchange Group was studied beween 2018 and 2022. Secondary information was acquired through audited reports and was taken from a sample of 19 functional businesses. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) was used for the data analysis, a descciptive statistics, regression and correlation analysis were employed. The dependent variable used was enviromenal disclosure and the factors that made up the independent varriables used, were board gender diversity, the board meeings, board size and board independence. The result of the analysis have proven that board meetings had a considerable favourable impact, in the same vien board size size was noted to have very significant and positive association with the disclosure of environmental issues. The discovery further proves that board board gender gender diversity also had a positive influence on environmental disclosure, only board independence gave an insignificant result in its relation with the dependent variable because its impact was found to be very minimal. To increase decision-making quality and timelinesst the researcher advises expanding the size of the board.
