At the prestigious CSR & Sustainability Leadership Awards 2025held at theMarriott Hotel, Accra, on Friday, 27th June 2025, Twellium Industrial Company Limited made a resounding statement in corporate citizenship by sweeping two top honors:

  • Most Impactful CSR Initiative of the Year for the Verna Changing Lives Campaign under the Twellium Foundation, and
  • Best Beverage Manufacturing Company in CSR-Related Initiatives.

These awards, presented by the CSR and Sustainability Network of Ghana in partnership with key industry stakeholders, recognize institutions that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to community development, environmental stewardship, and impactful social investment.

The Verna Changing Lives Campaign, powered by Verna Mineral Water, has earned widespread acclaim for its transformative efforts in empowering vulnerable groups, enhancing access to healthcare, and uplifting lives through targeted and sustainable interventions. Over the past year, the campaign has spearheaded several noteworthy projects, including:

  • The full sponsorship of life-saving heart surgery worth $7,000 for a critically ill patient. 
  • A recent donation covering the entire surgery cost for a promising senior high school student in urgent medical need.
  • Support for the Ghana National Amputee Football Team, enabling their successful win at the Amputee African Cup of Nations (AAFCON) in Egypt.
  • Provision of medical equipment to hospitals, enhancing healthcare delivery in underserved communities.

These impactful initiatives are driven by Verna’s belief that every bottle purchased should contribute to meaningful change, and they reflect Twellium’s broader mission of creating shared value for society.

Speaking on behalf of Mr. Ali Ajami, Chief Marketing Officer of Twellium Industrial Company Limited, Edem Lakpleku, Digital Marketing Manager, expressed heartfelt appreciation to the organizers, stakeholders, and the public for their support:

“We are deeply honored by this recognition. At Twellium, corporate social responsibility is not a checkbox, it is embedded in our values and culture. The Verna Changing Lives Campaign is a proof of this. We dedicate this award to every Ghanaian whose story has inspired us to do more, and we promise to keep pushing the boundaries of what corporate impact can look like.”

As Twellium continues to expand its footprint across Ghana and West Africa, its commitment to sustainability, ethical leadership, and social impact remains paramount.
