Socio-economic impact of SABMiller in Ghana
June 22, 2011
In June, SABMiller launched our socio-economic impact report on Ghana, which we executed together with Ethan Kapstein (associate partner Steward Redqueen). The study comprises the local brewery (Accra Brewery Ltd) and their water business (Voltic Ghana), and shows that every job at their operations relates to 20 jobs throughout the Ghanaian economy. In addition, 0.4% of Ghana’s GDP is associated with SABMiller’s local presence.
SABMiller CEO Graham Mackay said:
"It is a simple fact that businesses succeed when they are embedded in buoyant economies and thriving communities. This report shows that a company's economic contribution is far broader than headline numbers and demonstrates the ripple effect of private investment across the economy. For businesses, this investment in local communities is key to ensuring their competitive advantage: underpinning broader growth and investment, which in turn benefits the organization.”
