FBNBank has been awarded the Employee Empowerment Excellence Award at the 5th edition of the 2023 Health Environmental Safety & Security (HESS) awards which were held at the Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel on Friday, June 23, 2023.
The HESS awards are designed to identify and publicly celebrate outstanding companies for their exceptional performance and innovations focused on occupational health, environment, safety and security (HESS).

The theme for this year’s awards was ‘Building a sustainable future of work through Health, Environment, Safety and Security’. During this year’s event, a total of 36 organisations and 11 individuals, including FBNBank, were honoured. The awards’ processes are supervised by a board of eminent Ghanaians.
