"Oil and gas firms in Nigeria are generally perceived to be weak in their environmental and ecological initiatives towards\r\ntheir host communities. Yet there has been a dearth of empirical emphasis from research that shows evidences about the role\r\nof ecological protection on the corporate image of oil and gas firms. Therefore, this study focused on examining the influence\r\nof a commitment to ecological protection on the corporate image of oil and gas firms in Nigeria. The study adopted the mixed\r\nmethods approach where quantitative and qualitative methods (survey and interview) were used. For the quantitative research,\r\ncopies of structured questionnaire were distributed to 350 employees of the selected firms, while 30 respondents from other\r\nstakeholder groups were interviewed for the qualitative research. Based on the results of the regression and thematic analyses,\r\nfindings show that the firms’ commitment to ecological protection through their policy to avoid the use of materials from the\r\nillegal exploitation of natural resources, commitment to waste minimisation and recycling and pollution leads to increased\r\ninvestors’ confidence, strengthened relationship with the government, host community and reduced pressure from third parties.\r\nTherefore, it is recommended that oil and gas firms intensify efforts in activities that ensure ecological protection of host\r\ncommunities and thus build stakeholders confidence in the firms’ corporate image"^^ .
