The Chief Executive of the Volta River Authority (VRA), the state-owned largest power producer, Mr Emmanuel Antwi-Darkwa, has espoused the need for industry leaders, policymakers and sustainability advocates to place themselves in readiness to drive sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles as fundamental pillars of their organisational strategy.
According to him, sustainability and ESG integration responsibility transcend individual or corporate interests, and it is, therefore, imperative for sustainability practitioners to pay attention to its demands and act with a profound sense of duty for the sake of posterity.
Mr Antwi-Darkwa made the call in a Keynote Address read on his behalf by the Deputy Chief Executive of services, Mr Ken Arthur, at the Strategic ESG and Sustainability Impact Summit (SESI 2024), held recently at the Labadi Beach Hotel, Accra.
The two-day conference, which was under the chairmanship of Professor Douglas Boateng, was organised under the theme: ‘Towards a Net Zero Future for Businesses’.
The event provided a platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange to explore critical steps required to achieve a sustainable, low-carbon future for sustainable growth that will create a positive impact on society and the environment.
