Accra, Jan. 14, GNA – The Senior Project Officer of Green Transition Limited, Dr. Gloria Kusi, has called for greater recognition of the Jospong Group’s sustainability efforts, saying they deserve more spotlight nationally and internationally.
Speaking at the Jospong Leadership Conference in Gomoa, Dr. Kusi noted that the group’s work in sustainability goes beyond policy statements, with practical, capital-intensive initiatives changing lives. The Jospong Group is actively addressing multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the creation of sustainable jobs, environmentally responsible operations, and heavy investment in circular economy infrastructure.
The group’s support for the SDGs cuts across several areas, including sanitation and waste value chain, which directly supports SDG 6 on clean water and sanitation, SDG 11 on sustainable cities and communities, and SDG 12 on responsible consumption and production. Its job creation initiatives, particularly for youth and marginalized groups, advance SDG 8 on decent work and economic growth, while its recycling and composting plants contribute significantly to SDG 13 on climate action.
This was contained in a statement issued by JGC and copied to the Ghana News Agency.
Dr. Kusi emphasised that these efforts are not just corporate projects, but contributions to global green governance and climate responsibility, and must be made public on the national and international fronts. She pointed to more than 18 raw material recovery outlets and 36
integrated recycling and compost plants operating across Ghana, with similar facilities spreading across parts of Africa.
Dr. Kusi was co-presenting with her General Manager, Dr. Glenn Gyimah, as part of a session themed “The Frontier: Sustainability and Purpose-Driven Leadership.”
Dr. Gyimah challenged leaders within the Jospong Group to rethink how they lead in the waste management and environmental services space, emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift that places sustainability, innovation, and long-term environmental thinking at the heart of leadership decisions.
