In her opening address, the Award Board Chairperson, Dr. Mrs. Diana Heymann-Adu, congratulated all nominees for their exceptional performance in maintaining the health, safety and security of their businesses, the environment, and their stakeholders.

She noted that although the “COVID-19 pandemic has created dysfunctions across the world and exposed the weakness of the global supply chain and local industries, it has also presented numerous opportunities that can be nurtured to build a stronger, self-reliant and a resilient economy.”
Dr. Diana Adu observed that for indigenous companies to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and to meet supply demands in the international market, they need to acquire ISO certification and should therefore take advantage of the prospects presented by the HESS Awards scheme.
