Practices and Sustainable Development in Ghanaian Enterprises: An Ethnographic Perspective
Abstract
Ghanaian enterprises are increasingly recognising the importance of sustainable development in their operations to enhance long-term viability and reputation. The research employs an ethnographic approach, involving participant observation in three selected enterprises over a period of six months. Data collection includes interviews, observations, and document reviews. Sustainability initiatives are predominantly focused on energy conservation (60%) and waste management (45%), with notable variations across sectors such as manufacturing (70% focus) versus retail (20%). Ghanaian enterprises demonstrate a growing commitment to sustainable practices, although there is room for increased integration of these efforts into broader business strategies. Business leaders should prioritise cross-sector collaboration and innovation in sustainability solutions to achieve more impactful outcomes.
