The award listed 20 companies featured on the Lusaka Stock exchange, measuring performance against transparency, accountability, responsibility and fairness.
"The directors of Zambeef recognise the value of good governance and endorse the principles of openness, integrity, transparency, accountability and the application of high ethical standards in the conduct of our business," stated Zambeef group chairman Dr Jacob Mwanza.
"It is an approach that has served the company well over its 20-year history, from humble beginnings with 60 staff. Today Zambeef is a vast agribusiness with forward and backward linkages, joining the producer and consumer and contributing hugely to the food security and wealth creation of the nation," Mwanza added.
