Companies making it into the GC 100 are to serve as role models for the private sector and provide a forum for corporate Ghana to interact with the government at a high level.
The ranking was first held in 1998 by the GIPC, with the aim of recognising the top 100 companies, encouraging competition and improvement of company products and services.
President of the Republic of Ghana, Mr. John Dramani Mahama, who was the Special Guest of Honour, congratulated companies who made it to the ranking and encouraged the need to promote ‘made in Ghana’ products.
