Newmont has secured three corporate awards and one individual honor at the 2025 National Public Relations and Communications Excellence Awards in Ghana. Organized by the Institute of Public Relations (IPR), the ceremony recognized the mining company for its strategic communication efforts during a period of significant business transformation. The awards highlight the company’s ability to manage complex narratives within the extractive sector while maintaining engagement with both internal and external stakeholders.

Specifically, Newmont was named the PR Organisation of the Year in the Extractive Sector and received the award for Corporate Communications of the Year. The company also won the Digital and Social Media Communications Campaign of the Year, a category that acknowledged its effective use of online platforms to communicate the divestment of its Akyem Mine. These accolades underscore the effectiveness of Newmont’s communication strategies as it navigates structural changes, including the recent commissioning of the Ahafo North mine.

In addition to the corporate honors, Newmont’s internal talent was recognized through Abigail Naa Karley Clegg, a Communications Specialist at the company, who was named the Internal Communicator of the Year. This award was granted in recognition of her contributions to employee engagement and her innovative approach to digital storytelling within the organization. Her work has been instrumental in ensuring that staff remain informed and aligned with the company’s evolving operational goals.

The 2025 National Public Relations and Communications Excellence Awards serve as a benchmark for professional standards in the industry, celebrating organizations that demonstrate transparency and creativity. For Newmont, these wins reflect its ongoing commitment to maintaining a robust corporate reputation while managing high-stakes transitions in Ghana’s mining industry. The recognition highlights the growing importance of strategic communication in the extractive sector as companies face increasing scrutiny and the need for clear stakeholder dialogue.
