Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will be the Special Guest of Honour at the 6th edition of the Sustainability and Social Investment (SSI) Awards on Friday, November 18, 2022, at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel, Accra.
Also, in attendance will be Yoofi Grant, CEO of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) and Andrew Maharaj, Deputy High Commissioner and Senior Trade Commissioner at the Canadian High Commission.
The annual Sustainability and Social Investment (SSI) Awards seeks to honour and celebrate individuals and corporate bodies for their constant investments in socially responsible programmes that have impacted and continue to impact society. The awards scheme has, in its previous editions, honoured business leaders, corporate institution and not-for-profits as well.
The 2022 edition of the Sustainability & Social Investment Awards have been endorsed by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), National Road Safety Authority (NRSC) and supported by the Ministry of Sanitation and Water Resources.
The awards night will be held under the theme ‘Leading the Sustainability Transition through Private-Public Partnerships and Collaborations’. The awards are open to all businesses and organisations across the public and private sectors and of all sizes from the largest multinationals to the smallest micro-organisations.
For this year’s awards, the organisers and partners have developed a set of categories that reflect the latest trends and practices in sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). From the most ambitious net-zero carbon programmes through to cutting-edge climate leadership innovations; from impactful climate partnerships and social sustainability initiatives to the heroes on the ground who are driving positive change.
