Agro Ecom Ghana Limited, a leading licensed Cocoa buying company, has won a gold award and national recognition at one of the country’s most prestigious awards for business excellence―Ghana Business and Financial Service Excellence Award, 2018.
The event which was organised under the auspices of the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoTI), saw Agro Ecom honoured for their immense support to Ghana’s cocoa industry as well as their contribution towards the economic development in Ghana.
Receiving the award on behalf of the company, last Friday, in Accra, Country Manager for Agro Ecom, Mr. Muhammadu Muzzammil said the company may not have made such formidable stride if the company had not changed its initial purpose and made way for one of more essence.
“For a long time, we were working purely as a cocoa trader but we have changed our purpose to creating rural prosperity and ever since we changed our purpose to focusing more on the farmer and farmer interventions, it has led to several growth within the company,” he said.
According to Mr. Muzzammil, being bestowed with a ‘Gold’ honour only goes to say the company was on the right track and further pledged to remain committed to their purpose.
It is for this reason that he advised businesses to look beyond profit making and seek the good of their partners and the society at large.
The manager said “businesses should look at societal interventions adding that, “societal change is possible through businesses.”
