MTN Ghana has launched its 2026 Sustainability Month under the theme “Together for a Sustainable Future: Small Actions, Big Impact,” calling for sustainability efforts to move from awareness to measurable results.
Speaking at the launch, MTN Ghana CEO Stephen Blewett said sustainability is central to the company’s Ambition 2030 strategy, describing ESG as a leadership discipline that turns shared value into tangible outcomes.
He highlighted key achievements, including the distribution of over 4.7 million biodegradable SIM cards, preventing an estimated 10,288 kilogrammes of plastic from entering circulation. Under Project Zero, MTN has also installed 3.02MW of solar power across more than half of its sites, offices and data centres.
On social impact, Blewett highlighted the company’s 19 years of Y’ello Care, the MTN Ghana Foundation’s GH¢3 million Vegetable Hub of Excellence, which has trained over 1,000 young people in climate-smart farming, and MTN’s position as Ghana’s leading corporate blood donor.
He also noted that women now account for nearly 44% of MTN Ghana’s workforce, while the company has invested more than US$1 billion in its network over the past five years.
The month-long initiative forms part of MTN Ghana’s 30th anniversary celebrations, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability, innovation and long-term national development.
