The Chairman of the Board of Trustees Joseph Emmanuel Allotey-Pappoe, who led the delegation, stressed the need for a partnership of business, civil society and government for the country to deepen the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) culture and reap its full benefits.
He stated that it was to promote such a culture that the CSRFG had been set up to create a society of CSR-committed and compliant corporate citizens and individuals, adding that the Foundation in line with its mission had within the first year of its establishment published two issues of a quarterly magazine ‘CSR Watch Magazine’ and also organized the first annual CSR conference in December 2011 to create awareness through its advocacy programmes.
Mr. Allotey-Pappoe invited the chamber to partner the Foundation and Ghana Standards Authority in the organizing a sectoral-based CSR seminar for captains in the telecoms industry to share orientation on CSR best practices.
On his part, Kweku Sakyi-Addo expressed his excitement about the possibility of a partnership between the two bodies.

Kweku Sakyi-Addo also assured the Foundation of the chamber’s readiness to partner and support CSRFG to promote CSR in the country.
