MTN Group has retained the top spot in the
annual ‘Brand Africa 100: Best Brands’ survey, also continuing to lead the list
of African brands ‘doing good for society, people and environment’ in
recognition of our ESG efforts to create shared value and a sustainable business,
society and world.
“This Africa Day, we take heart from this
accolade and would like to acknowledge and thank our partners everywhere for
their support,” said MTN Group President and Chief Executive Officer
Ralph Mupita.
“MTN is committed to meeting our customers’
current and future needs, leveraging digital capabilities for a more
sustainable future, and fostering strong partnerships to drive meaningful
change. These awards inspire us to keep focused,” he added.
The Brand Africa awards are the result of
independent research in more than 30 markets which account for 85% of the
continent’s population and economic activity.
MTN Group has mobile operations in 17 countries
on the continent. Since 2021, our strategy has been ‘Ambition 2025: Leading
digital solutions for Africa’s progress’.
Among our ESG commitments are those to eco
responsibility and achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040; driving digital and
financial inclusion and a diverse society; being a committed partner to
stakeholders to create and protect value; and boosting inclusive economic
growth across the continent.
In April, Brand Finance ranked MTN as the most
valuable South African brand, as well as the top South African brand by
‘sustainability perceptions value’, assigning MTN a brand value of
R68.2 billion and a sustainability perceptions value of R5.7 billion.
