The awards scheme is organised by the GSA in collaboration with the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI).
It rewards excellence and the application of internationally accepted quality standards among locally owned Ghanaian institutions in the field of manufacturing and service delivery.
Instituted in 2017, the main aim of the awards was to help raise public awareness of the need for standardisation.
Also, it is intended to promote excellence through quality management, acknowledge the contribution of quality in the national economy and all aspects of corporate management as well as encourage organisations to adopt the quality approach, and if possible, obtain certification, thereby improving the country’s image and locally manufactured products for both local and international (regional) markets.
Worthy step
Presenting a cheque for GH¢ 20,000 to to the GSA as its support, the Head of Compliance and Supply Chain and acting Head of Marketing of PETROSOL, Joseph Yaribil, explained that the company found the National Quality Awards as a worthy cause that needed support as quality control was at the heart of production and consumption.
He said it was a noble gesture aimed at encouraging companies to enhance the quality of their products for the benefit of consumers, hence the support.
Mr Yaribil indicated that Petrosol had an unwavering commitment to quality.
