Engineering and Asset Care Manager, Kaase Brewery, Saeed Abdul-Muumen added that “as a leading manufacturer in Ghana, GGBL consumes a significant amount of energy. We have, however, instituted a number of initiatives to ensure our business, as well as employees, are consciously making prudent decisions to reduce our energy usage to guarantee the long-term supply of power in Ghana.”
