This research paper investigated the relationship between environmental accounting practices and sustainable development in Nigeria. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, data was collected form thirty four (34) companies having environmentally related issues in Nigeria. The study was descriptive in nature. The study recommended that: Stakeholders should increasingly require companies to manufacture goods efficiently and at competitive prices without harming the environment; to enhance sustainable development by reducing the environmental impact while increasing the value of an enterprise, satisfying human needs; contributing to the quality of life, and resource intensity through environmental performance reporting occasioned by the ratio between an environmental variable and financial variable that measures the environment performance of an enterprise with respect to its financial performance.
