ESG & Sustainability · McDan Group

One Group, many industries, one standard of responsibility

McDan Group's ESG commitment travels with every business we run — Aviation, Shipping & Logistics, Salt & Minerals, Agribusiness, and beyond. Through the McDan Foundation and flagship projects like our salt and minerals subsidiary ElectroChem Ghana Limited, the Group has spent two decades reinvesting in education, women's empowerment, health and the environment — proof that a Ghanaian-owned conglomerate can grow across industries without losing sight of the people around it.

Our approach

Four commitments, carried across every business we run

From the McDan Foundation's national programmes to frontline projects like ElectroChem Ghana's work on the Songor concession, these are the commitments that travel with every subsidiary in the Group.

01

Education & Youth Empowerment

The McDan Scholarship Scheme, the McDan Entrepreneurship Challenge and the Youth Connect mentorship series — funding tuition and backing young founders across Ghana.

02

Women & Vulnerable Groups

Feeding programmes, financial aid and skills training for widows, aged women and underserved households in communities across the country.

03

Health, Water & Infrastructure

Medical outreach, hospital and clinic support, school construction, and potable water and sanitation projects in the communities we operate near.

04

Environmental Stewardship

Lagoon rehabilitation and mangrove reforestation at Songor, Green Ghana tree-planting, and sustainable practices built into how every subsidiary operates.

Across the Group

One commitment, many subsidiaries

ESG at McDan Group isn't a single project — it's a standard every business line is expected to carry, from the lagoon at Songor to the runway at Kotoka.

Salt & Minerals ElectroChem Ghana Limited

Rehabilitating the Songor Lagoon and building community-owned salt pans alongside a growing industrial concession.

Nationwide, via the McDan Foundation

The McDan Foundation runs the Group's flagship social investment programmes, reaching far beyond any single subsidiary. It funds tuition for students who couldn't otherwise afford it, backs young entrepreneurs with real capital, and stands behind widows and women in underserved communities with direct support rather than one-off handouts.

Flagship example · ElectroChem Ghana, Songor

Restoring the lagoon a business now depends on

Environmental stewardship looks different across the Group, but the clearest example sits at Songor. Before ElectroChem Ghana took on the concession, sections of the lagoon and its Ramsar wetlands had been damaged by unregulated mining. Since then, brine levels and lagoon health have been steadily restored — and with them, the fish stocks and migratory bird populations the Ada community has always relied on.

  • Pump capacity raised from 100 to 5,250 litres/second, reviving brine flow
  • Return of migratory birds to a wetland once left for dead
  • Protection for freshwater bodies bordering the concession
