Nutrifoods Ghana Limited, a joint venture between Olam International and Sanyo Foods, and a leading producer of snacks and culinary products in the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry, has been honoured with two prestigious recognitions at the just ended ESG & Sustainability Awards Africa 2025, an initiative by Global Ovations Ltd. The company received the Eco-Responsible Food Industry Champion Award, while its Snacks factory Manager, Mr. Deenadayalan Kannan, was awarded the Visionary Leadership in Sustainability Award for his outstanding stewardship in driving sustainable progress within the FMCG sector.
The ESG & Sustainability Awards Africa celebrates exemplary leaders and organizations advancing responsible growth, ethical business conduct, and long-term sustainable development across the continent. This year’s ceremony took place on Saturday, 13th December 2025, at the Accra Marriott Hotel and convened Africa’s top business leaders, innovators, policymakers, and sustainability advocates under the theme: “Driving Africa’s Future: Responsible Leadership, Sustainable Impact.”
Nutrifoods Ghana’s recognition reflects its continued commitment to embedding Environmental Stewardship, Social Equity, and Good Governance (ESG) principles into its operations. The company has over the years championed responsible manufacturing, invested in environmentally efficient production systems, strengthened workplace safety, empowered its workforce, and supported nutrition and community-focused initiatives across Ghana.
Speaking on the honour, Mr. Deenadayalan Kannan, Snacks Factory Manager, expressed gratitude to the organizers:
“It is truly an honour for Nutrifoods and for me personally to be recognized for our efforts in sustainability. This award reinforces our commitment to growing our business responsibly — ensuring that as we nourish families across Ghana and beyond, we also protect the environment, uplift communities, and uphold the highest standards of governance. We remain dedicated to advancing sustainable manufacturing and driving positive impact across the value chain.”
As one of Ghana’s largest food manufacturing businesses, Nutrifoods continues to demonstrate industry leadership by integrating sustainable practices into every stage of its production—from responsible sourcing to waste reduction, energy efficiency, and community partnership programmes.
