Agribank scooped the prestigious Golden Arrow Award
at the annual PMR Africa awards held in Windhoek on Monday. Awarded in the
Leaders and Achievers – Agricultural Finance category, the award was given to
Agribank for being one of the companies and institutions doing the most in
their sectors over the past 12 months to stimulate the economic growth and
development of Namibia. Agribank achieved a rating of excellent as determined
by a random, national sample of respondents comprising chief executive
officers, managing directors, business owners, company directors, managers and
senior government officials based in Namibia.
Commenting
on the award, Agribank CEO Sakaria Nghikembua expressed appreciation for the
award noting that the Bank continues to make transformational in-roads in a
very difficult operating environment. “As a Bank, we need to be resilient in
the most testing of times, ensure financial sustainability and demonstrate
exemplary corporate governance whilst making sure that we serve our mandate,
that of being the catalyst for the transformation of the agricultural sector,” stated
Nghikembua.
The vision, integrity, values and competence and
empathy that contribute to ethical and sustainable business practices are
measured meticulously. PMR Africa conducts a survey annually to measure
companies, institutions, government entities and individuals on their
contribution to the economic growth and development of the country, levels of
management expertise, implementation of corporate governance and levels of
innovation.
The PMR Africa awards are considered as the
equivalent of the “Corporate Oscars” in Namibia. Corporate heavyweights rubbed
shoulders at a business breakfast in Windhoek on Monday whilst waiting with
bated breath as their ratings on various key performance indicators by fellow
professionals were revealed. Through the awards, PMR Africa acknowledges
contributions, initiatives, strategies, efforts and hard work of corporates in
Namibia. The awards are aimed at, amongst others, enhancing excellence, setting
a bench mark in the industry and acknowledging the contributions of businesses
and employees.
