MTN Ghana has reaffirmed its commitment to environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and responsible business practices through collective action as it launched the 2025 Sustainability Week in Accra.
Speaking at the launch themed, “Sustainability: Our Collective Responsibility — Driving Impact, Deepening Commitment,” Chief Corporate Services and Sustainability Officer of MTN Ghana, Adwoa Wiafe, emphasised that sustainability is not merely a corporate initiative but a shared duty that requires participation from all sectors of society.
“Sustainability concerns everyone. No matter who you are or where you are, we are all part of the global conversation on building a better, more resilient future for all humanity,” she explained.
Mrs. Wiafe highlighted that the launch coincided with COP30 in Belém, Brazil, where world leaders are discussing global climate action and carbon emission targets.
“The opening of COP30 in Brazil and our Sustainability Week here in Ghana remind us that sustainability is a shared duty — one that unites countries, businesses, and individuals around a common purpose,” she stated.
Reflecting on MTN Ghana’s progress since its inaugural Sustainability Week in 2024, Mrs. Wiafe noted that the company has made significant strides in embedding sustainability into its operations and culture.
She credited these achievements to the collaborative efforts of employees, partners, and stakeholders who share MTN’s vision of a sustainable and digitally empowered Ghana.
Chief Executive Officer of MTN Ghana, Stephen Blewett, called on businesses, policymakers, and individuals to embrace sustainability as a shared responsibility in driving the country’s economic, social, and environmental transformation.
He reiterated the company’s commitment to integrating sustainability at the core of its operations and aligning its growth with the principles of environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and ethical governance.
Technical Advisor at the Ministry of Climate Change and Sustainability, Cedrick Dzelu, commended MTN Ghana for its leadership in integrating sustainability and climate sensitivity into its operations.
He noted that MTN’s initiatives, such as its commitment to renewable energy and waste reduction, align closely with the government’s climate vision under President John Dramani Mahama and the broader national development agenda.
“This initiative is in line with the government’s vision to cascade climate change and sustainability approaches across all ministries, departments, and agencies,” he said.
