    Meeting the current financial needs and ensuring resource availability for future operations is vital for firms to maximize their shareholders wealth and improve overall health of the economy. However, ineffective allocation of resources to new ventures and ESG compliance issues have compacted the overall performance thereby undermining the listed non-financial firms’ financial sustainability. Consequently, this study investigates the impact of income diversification and ESG practices on the financial sustainability of the firm. Longitudinal research design was used and 84 out of the 104 listed non-financial firms were sampled using multi-stage sampling technique. Data obtained from the annual reports of the sampled firms as well as the ESG-CSR Hub were analyzed using panel data regression (GLS) technique and the findings revealed that income diversification and ESG practices have impact on the financial sustainability of the listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study therefore recommends that firms should identify more complementary revenue sources especially in the high-growth sectors in order to minimize investment and operational risk. Also, firms should invest in the energy-efficient technologies and waste management practices while implementing ESG frameworks that will position them competitively in a dynamic environment.
