Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Access Bank Ghana has been adjudged the \u201cBest Company in Promoting Sports development\u201d and \u201cProject of the Year \u2013 Environment\u201d at the legacy edition of the Sustainability and Social Investment (SSI) Awards, held in Accra.<\/b><\/p>\n

A statement issued by Access Bank Ghana, which was made available, said this recognition highlights the Bank\u2019s exceptional efforts in fostering grassroots sports and actively committing and participating in the government\u2019s tree planting initiative for environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n

The event, which was held under the chairmanship of Professor Douglas Boateng, an expert in Environmental, Social and Governance, was on the theme \u201cSustainability and the Economy, creating a Balanced Future for All\u201d.<\/p>\n

The statement said the Sustainability and Social Investment Awards seeks to create awareness, encourage companies, CSI\/CSR foundations, NGO\u2019s and other implementing agencies in delivering high impact CSI\/CSR projects that align with Government\u2019s focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).<\/p>\n

Mr Olumide Olatunji, Managing Director of Access Bank Ghana, commenting on the awards, reiterated the Bank\u2019s commitment to sustainable practices as it aligns with its strategic vision for Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur commitment to sustainability is evident in all facets of our operations,\u201d Mr Olumide noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom strict adherence to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles in our lending processes to impactful social investment projects, Access Bank remains dedicated to positively impacting lives and communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have over the past two years supported the 48 clubs under the Division One League of<\/p>\n

The Ghana Football Association, in our bid to promote grassroots sports in Ghana.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, the Bank has proven its commitment to greening Ghana by planting over 20,000 seedlings across the country and in locations where the Bank has presence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Oluwaseun David-Akinde, the Head of Corporate Communications and Brands Management, Access Bank Ghana, further highlighted the Bank\u2019s recent campaign dubbed<\/p>\n

\u2018A Sandal More for a Better Tomorrow,\u2019 as a testament to the Bank\u2019s commitment towards the SDGs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis initiative directly contributes to reducing carbon emissions by transforming tire waste into eco-friendly school sandals for deprived children, supporting SDGs 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 4 (Quality Education),\u201d Mr Oluwaseun said.<\/p>\n

Access Bank Ghana\u2019s consistent commitment to sustainability has garnered international and local recognition, including being named the Best CSR Bank in Ghana by Euromoney Awards, World Economic Magazine Awards, and Finance Derivative Awards in 2023.<\/p>\n

These accolades reflect Access Bank Ghana\u2019s continuous pursuit of excellence in sustainable practices and social impact, reinforcing its position as a leader in the banking industry.<\/p>\n

Access Bank remains committed to ensuring that shareholders, customers, and staff enjoy a more-than-banking experience.<\/p>\n

The Bank presently operates through over 700 branches and service outlets in 20 countries, including the UAE, UK, and France, and three representative offices in China, India, and Lebanon.<\/p>\n
