The Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) has scooped the Balance Scorecard Institute’s 2023 Award for Excellence.
The award is a recognition of organisations’ outstanding achievements in strategic performance management, recognized UNOC's strong executive leadership, strategy development, strategy communications, organizational alignment, sustainability, and breakthrough results.
The Award was presented to an audience in Kampala that included UNOC board members, senior management, and staff.
UNOC's journey towards excellence has been marked by improvements in employee recruitment and training, deliberate effort toward shaping the company culture, and improved internal risk management and business controls.

The company's strategic foresight and dynamic leadership have enabled it to navigate complex challenges while achieving remarkable growth and impact.
"We are thrilled to present the Award for Excellence to UNOC," said Howard Rohm, BSI President, and Co-Founder.
