Telecel Ghana Foundation emerged as a standout force at the CSR & Sustainability Leadership Awards in Accra by clinching four prestigious awards in recognition of its outstanding commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR).

The Foundation arm of the telecommunications giant, Telecel Ghana, won four coveted honours, namely: Top Sustainability Brand of the Year, Best Employee-Led CSR Initiative of the Year, Best Public-Private Collaboration in CSR Initiatives for its partnership with the Ghana Health Service and Top Sustainability Leader in Ghana, awarded to Rita Agyeiwaa Rockson, Head of Foundation, Sustainability and External Communications.

“This recognition is deeply humbling and a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. Every initiative we lead at Telecel Ghana Foundation is about creating opportunities, inspiring hope, and empowering young people and communities to thrive.

"These accolades are a promise to the people and communities we serve that we will keep investing in their future,” Rita said.

The awards collectively acknowledged Telecel Ghana Foundation for its innovative approach to galvanising staff-led community impact projects and supporting healthcare delivery through partnerships with government agencies to advance wellbeing initiatives in underserved communities across Ghana.

Beyond the telecommunications sector, the awards spotlighted excellence in sustainability efforts across banking, education, hospitality, pharmaceuticals, and beverages, underscoring a rising culture of purpose-driven business leadership in Ghana.

Organised by The Governance and Business Boardroom, the CSR and Sustainability Leadership Awards celebrate organisations and leaders who demonstrate outstanding commitment to corporate social responsibility and sustainable development.

According to the organisers, the awards recognise initiatives that create a long-lasting impact on society and the environment by honouring those who go beyond compliance to integrate ethical, socially responsible, and environmentally conscious practices into core business strategies.

To champion responsible leadership and ethical governance across Africa and beyond, the event brought together corporate leaders, sustainability champions, and change-makers committed to driving impact and responsible growth.
