Nominations are open for the 2nd edition of the Sustainability & Social Investment Awards 2018, slated for the 30th November, 2018 at the Accra Marriott hotel.
The Sustainability & Social Investment Awards identify and publicly recognize the impact made by companies, CSI/CSR foundations, NGO’s, individuals and other implementing agencies through exemplary success in voluntarily improving the quality of life of people and communities.
The purpose of the SSI Awards among others is to create awareness and encourage companies to infuse corporate social investments and innovations in the form of approach, usage of technology and expertise towards solving developmental challenges faced by the society, individuals and communities as a whole.
“We strongly believe that when most companies undertake CSI/CSR projects that follow up innovative solutions to specific problems in the domains of Social, Economic and Environmental challenges, the nation’s effort in achieving its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be accelerated resulting in a better state of the economy than what we currently see” said Mr. Adu-Gyamfi Isaac, Events Director.
”We see ourselves as helping push the boundaries of what companies can do to help the nation achieve its sustainable development goals and by encouraging companies to increase their sustainability efforts and then manage and report the results, we’re hoping that the greater impact will be measurable” he added.
This year’s edition will celebrate business excellence and innovation in corporate social responsibility and is themed “investing in communities, impacting lives”.
It will also reward businesses that creatively approached CSR and those who are creating new standards, committing their organization to make social responsibility an integral part of their business.
