DAILY GRAPHIC, Tuesday, April 17, 2012, Pg. 20. GCGL pledges to promote corporate social responsibility

Story: Mary Ankrah

THE Graphic Communication Group Limited (GCGL) will partner the Corporate Social Responsibility Foundation Ghana (CSRFG) to help promote corporate social responsibility activities in Ghana.

 The Managing Director of the GCGL, Mr Kenneth Ashigbey, who was speaking during a courtesy call on him by the Board of Trustees of the CSRFG at his office in Accra on Friday, observed that it was important for organisations to make social responsibility projects a core aspect of their activities.

He said because there was the need for the media to report adequately on corporate social responsibility (CSR) issues, the GCGL hoped to build a legacy that would ensure that CSR became integral to the operations of the company.

He said the GCGL was currently exploring innovative ways to make a positive impact on its workers, vendors and the public to ensure sustainable growth.

He said one of the major CSR activities the group was embarking on this year was advocating for every Ghanaian to realise the need to ensure peaceful elections in December.

He urged all Ghanaians to love one another, collectively work towards the development of the country and leave the world “better than how they found it.”

A member of the CSRFG, Mr Kweku Rockson, who briefed the managing director on the activities of the foundation, said it was ready to help with the training, awards, research, publications and advisory activities in the area of CSR to help improve on the legal, social and ethical behaviour, as well as practices of corporate entities, individuals and the government.

The CSRFG was established by a corps of professionals in the areas of marketing, public relations and CSR with a vision to create a society in which corporate organisations are socially responsible.
