Our company has in recent months partnered with Her Excellency, the First Lady Dr Auxilia Mnangagwa, United Nations agencies, SADC, and City of Harare to implement environmental sustainability principles of reduce-reuse-recycle and climate action.
This was said by our Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr Dilesh Nguwaya at the United Nations 79th Anniversary celebrations in Harare on Wednesday.
Dr Nguwaya paid tribute to Dr Mnangagwa for her sterling role in leading environmental sustainability programmes.
He also honoured the UN agencies for working closely with our company on environmental issues.
Dr Nguwaya said: “Together, we organized the regional SADC commemoration of World Environment Day, drawing over 2,500 participants to adopt the Harare Declaration on Environmental Sustainability. This declaration now informs the SADC’s position at the African Union Conference on Environment.
“During these celebrations, over five hundred youths and students engaged in enlightening activities promoting circular economies, tree planting, and climate action advocacy through skits, art, and poetry. Her Excellency Dr Auxillia Mnangagwa, the First Lady of Zimbabwe and a passionate patron of environmental sustainability, presided over this regional event.
Dr Nguwaya added: “She personally interacted with the young participants, emphasizing tree planting, clean-up campaigns, and the vital environmental sustainability principles of reduce-reuse-recycle.”
He also noted that Geo Pomona Waste Management (Pvt) Ltd has joined forces with the UN to engage First Ladies of SADC countries in climate action and environmental sustainability advocacy, linked to the SADC Summit where Zimbabwe assumed leadership.
