Abstract: Regardless of the relevance of sustainability practices to business organisation, literature indicates very few studies have attempted to investigate the effect of ethical sensitivity on the sustainability of small and medium enterprise (SMEs), mainly the relationship between ethical sensitivity and sustainable performance of SMEs. The literature suggests that there is not only limited information on the Sustainable Performance of SMEs in Nigeria but also little research in this important area of study. By using structural questionnaires, the data for the study were collected from 288 SMEs in Nigeria. The findings of the study indicate a significant positive relationship between ethical sensitivity and sustainable performance of SMEs. The result of the study seems to demonstrate that the practice of ethical sensitivity in SMEs will not only be to improve their economic performance but also to increase both environment and social performance as well.
