SIMS supports Prempeh College waste management drive with GHS30,000

In a move to promote environmental sustainability and responsible waste management, Stanbic Investment Management Services (SIMS) has partnered with the Prempeh College 1982 Year Group to support the installation of 60 waste bins across the school’s campus. The initiative is aimed at fostering a cleaner learning environment while encouraging students to develop responsible waste disposal habits and a stronger sense of environmental stewardship.

Presenting a donation of GHS30,000 to the group, Managing Director of SIMS, Kwabena Boamah, said the support reflects the company’s commitment to creating value beyond investment management by investing in communities and initiatives that deliver lasting social impact.

He noted that SIMS believes true investment goes beyond financial returns and extends to people, communities and the environments in which they live, learn and grow. He added that the company has consistently supported social impact initiatives over the years, including healthcare interventions, neonatal equipment donations and the sponsorship of a community health post project in Horsita.

According to Mr. Boamah, the waste management initiative is intended not only to improve sanitation on campus but also to encourage students to take greater responsibility for their environment and adopt sustainable waste disposal habits. SIMS is also encouraging the adoption of simple waste segregation practices to strengthen the long-term impact of the project.

Receiving the donation on behalf of the year group, President of the Prempeh College 1982 Year Group, Francis Osei, thanked SIMS for supporting the school’s environmental agenda. He highlighted ongoing efforts by alumni and the school to strengthen Prempeh College through a five-year strategic plan aimed at enhancing academic excellence, discipline and student development.

He said the waste management project aligns with the school’s broader objective of nurturing responsible citizens, noting that environmental responsibility plays an important role in shaping discipline and leadership among students.

Also speaking at the ceremony, Immediate Past Senior Prefect of Prempeh College, Ishmael Edusei, described the donation as a meaningful contribution to the school’s development. He noted that the support demonstrates the power of collaboration between institutions and alumni and serves as an example of the impact that giving back can have on future generations.

The initiative is expected to contribute to a cleaner learning environment while reinforcing a culture of environmental stewardship across the school community, reflecting Stanbic Investment Management Services’ commitment to supporting sustainable development and creating lasting value in the communities it serves.
