In a forward to the report, Mr. Richard Nunekpeku, the Managing Partner of Sustineri Attorneys PRUC reinforced the law firm’s goal in putting this historic report together.

“In today's rapidly changing world, sustainability manifested in varying considerations has become an indispensable facet of corporate strategy for survival, growth, and expansion. Key considerations such as Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), Climate change, diminishing natural resources, and the growing social inequalities and access to economic opportunities, education, and health, among others, are compelling businesses to re-evaluate their practices and prioritize the triple bottom lines - people, planet, and profit.

In this new era, a proactive and adaptive approach to sustainability concerns is not only essential for responsible corporate citizenship but also for maintaining a competitive edge in the global market- place.

To this end, our inaugural edition takes a look at the existing legislative frameworks in Ghana and how such policies, regulations, and compliance demands promote the achievement of sustainability goals across industries, emerging sustainability issues, trends, and innovative approaches that businesses are adopting or must adopt to thrive in this new era”
