Rite Foods Limited, Nigeria’s foremost food and beverage company, has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to ethical business conduct, transparency, and corporate responsibility as it joined the global community to commemorate Compliance Week 2025.
The annual observance, themed “Compliance as a Shared Responsibility,” underscores the company’s belief that ethical behavior is not just a policy but a way of life that guides every decision, process, and interaction within the organization.
Corporate Compliance & Ethics Week®, established in 2005, is a global initiative aimed at promoting awareness of ethics and compliance in corporate organizations. Built around the principles of awareness, recognition, and reinforcement, the event serves as a reminder that sound values and responsible actions form the bedrock of sustainable business success.
At Rite Foods Limited, the 2025 celebration provided a platform to deepen employee engagement around the company’s long-standing principles of accountability, transparency, and excellence—values that have defined its impressive growth trajectory and leadership in Nigeria’s fast-moving consumer goods sector.
Throughout the week, staff across all departments participated in a series of activities, including knowledge-sharing sessions, compliance workshops, and internal awareness campaigns designed to strengthen adherence to ethical standards and reinforce a culture of integrity in daily operations.
Speaking on the significance of the observance, Mr. Seleem Adegunwa, Managing Director/CEO of Rite Foods Limited, emphasized that the company’s success story is inseparable from its commitment to doing business the right way.
“At Rite Foods, compliance is not just a requirement; it is a mindset,” Adegunwa said. “It defines who we are, how we operate, and the standards we uphold. We hold ourselves accountable to the highest ethical principles, and this commitment shapes our relationships with employees, consumers, and business partners alike.”
Similarly, Mrs. Oluyemi Lawal-Daki, Head, Legal & Company Secretary, described Compliance Week as a reflection of the company’s proactive approach to ethics and corporate governance.
“Our goal is not just to meet compliance obligations but to live them daily,” she explained. “Every employee understands that integrity and compliance form the backbone of sustainable business success.”
The company reiterated that its compliance framework is driven by a shared responsibility model, where every stakeholder—employees, vendors, and partners—plays an active role in sustaining a transparent, fair, and law-abiding workplace.
Through initiatives like Compliance Week, Rite Foods continues to strengthen its reputation as a responsible, forward-looking organization that places ethics and governance at the heart of its operations.
