The Ghana Business Awards is a prestigious awards scheme that recognizes and rewards excellence across all sectors in Ghana.
The awards provide a platform to recognise individuals and companies that play a significant role in the growth and development of their business sector while recognising the key sector that promotes growth and sustainability.
It also serves as a benchmark of excellence for company performance despite the recurring challenges and these benchmarks are based on some key performance indicators (KPIs) to derive the standards of excellence.
