THE 20th Ghana Club 100 Awards has successfully been held, rewarding the best 100 companies for their exploits and efforts.
Mining giant Newmont Ghana Gold Limited (Ahafo South Mine) was crowned the best company in the country at the awards.
The rankings were arrived at after a rigorous screening exercise based on companies’ size, growth and corporate social responsibility efforts. The Ghana Club 100 was introduced by Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) in 1998, and features an annual collection of 100 outstanding companies in the Ghanaian business landscape. The main objective of Ghana Club 100 is to promote good corporate governance among Ghanaian businesses, develop a transparent and fluid communication system in the Ghanaian corporate sector, and spur progress for positive economic entities.
Speaking during the event, Chief Executive Officer-Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Yofi Grant, noted that: “The African Continental Free Trade Area (AFCFTA) pact presents a golden opportunity for Ghanaian businesses to expand their reach. For us at GIPC, our work is to complement efforts by instituting various measures that bolster Ghana’s private sector’s competitiveness on the African continent”.
