This award serves as a validation of GACL’s internal systems, meticulously designed to identify and proactively address current and emerging risks within our organization.”
Mrs. Djamson-Tettey further noted, “In an industry where safety is paramount, GACL places Risk Management at the forefront of our operations. We continuously update our risk register to align with evolving trends. This recognition will undoubtedly motivate our team to further embed Enterprise Risk Management in every facet of our organization.”
