    Atlantic Catering, a prominent name in Ghana’s hospitality industry, has officially joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC)—becoming the first Ghanaian full-service catering and hospitality company to be recognized as a signatory of the world’s largest corporate sustainability initiative.

    The signing took place on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at the company’s head office in Accra, during a private onboarding ceremony attended by representatives from UN Global Compact Ghana and the Atlantic Catering leadership team.

    The UN Global Compact unites businesses globally that are committed to aligning their operations with universal principles in human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, while advancing the broader UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

    Private Sector Leadership in Sustainability

    Speaking at the event, Mr. Tolu Lacroix, Executive Director of UN Global Compact Ghana, welcomed Atlantic Catering into the network, stating:

    “Companies like Atlantic Catering play a vital role in shaping a business environment that is responsible, ethical and future-focused. Their participation strengthens our mission to advance sustainability across all sectors.”

    Already, the company is integrating the Ten Principles of the UNGC into its daily operations and long-term strategy through its CARES initiative—focusing on waste reduction, ethical sourcing, staff well-being, and more.

    Maud Lindsay-Gamrat, CEO of Atlantic Catering, remarked:

    “Joining the UN Global Compact is a natural extension of our values. We understand that true hospitality goes beyond exceptional food and service. It also about CARE. Caring for people, communities and the planet.”

    A Local Responsibility with Global Impact

    The announcement comes during World Environment Month, reinforcing Atlantic Catering’s mission to lead sustainable business practices in Ghana and reduce its environmental footprint.

    “This step reflects our belief that business can be a force for good,” added Lindsay-Gamrat. “We look forward to learning, growing and contributing meaningfully within this global network.”

    By becoming a signatory, Atlantic Catering sets a new benchmark in Ghana’s private sector for responsible corporate citizenship, adding momentum to nationwide efforts to align with the SDGs and foster a greener future.
