The Ghana Beverage Awards (GBA) has marked a major milestone by launching its 10th anniversary celebration in Accra. The event, held on Wednesday, brought together industry leaders, regulators, partners, and stakeholders to commemorate a decade of recognizing innovation, quality, and leadership in Ghana’s vibrant beverage sector.
Over the past ten years, the GBA has grown into a transformative platform, spotlighting the best of Ghana’s alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage brands while honoring businesses and individuals contributing to industry growth. The anniversary theme, “A Toast to Ten”, reflects both the longevity and evolution of the awards, as well as its renewed vision for the future.
In a keynote address, the CEO of Global Media Alliance, Mr. Ernest Boateng, praised the progress of the beverage industry and highlighted the pivotal role of GBA in shaping it. He recounted the awards’ origins, emphasizing its mission to recognize quality, uplift Ghanaian brands, and promote globally competitive standards. “Over the past decade, this mission has taken root, contributing to the growth of Ghanaian beverage brands that now sit proudly on shelves across continents,” he stated.
Looking ahead, Mr. Boateng stressed that the next decade must prioritize sustainability and ESG-aligned practices.
The Chief Director of Global Media Alliance, Ms. Emma Wenani, described the journey of GBA as one marked by excellence, innovation, and creativity. She noted that the awards have evolved from a simple recognition platform into a national celebration of beverage manufacturing excellence, sustainable practices, and market development.
As part of the launch, organizers announced the opening of nominations for the 10th Ghana Beverage Awards, scheduled to crown winners in 2026. The nomination process has been clearly outlined to ensure a seamless experience for both brands and individuals seeking recognition.
Professor Charles Tortoe, Chairman of the GBA Technical Committee, highlighted how the awards have surpassed their original vision by promoting startups that have become major brands, modernizing indigenous formulations for global competitiveness, and encouraging factories to adopt advanced, sustainable processing technologies.
One of the highlights of the evening was the unveiling of the official anniversary logo, symbolizing celebration, progress, and forward movement in Ghana’s beverage industry.
