'We don’t support galamsey, we promote ethical business practices'

The CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GNCCI), Mark Badu-Aboagye, has called for stricter measures to tackle illegal mining, also known as galamsey, while promoting business sustainability.

Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express Business Edition on Thursday, September 26, he stressed the need for a green and resilient economy, urging businesses to adopt ethical practices that protect the environment.

“We don’t support anything that will disrupt our business operations,” Badu-Aboagye stated. He emphasized that the GNCCI is actively engaging its members, especially in mining towns like Tarkwa, to advocate for a circular and green economy.

“We are promoting ethical business practices… Our theme is adaptability and innovation in a green economy,” he added, outlining the Chamber’s project with EU funding to promote sustainability in the Northern regions.
