ACO and Abdulwahab's Office shape sustainable future for UNESCO World Engineering Day 2025

On March 4, 2025, UNESCO Headquarters in Paris marked the launch of the UNESCO World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development for the year 2025. Among the partners recognized for their contributions to this important initiative were ACO, a leader in water technology, and Abdulwahab’s Office, a significant player in wealth management. Both organizations were selected due to their commitment to sustainability and their roles in promoting engineering as a vital pathway for achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The campaign for WED 2025 is led by UNESCO in conjunction with the World Federation for Engineering Organisations (WFEO), which incorporates around 100 countries and represents over 30 million engineers globally. This year’s theme, ‘Shaping our sustainable future through engineering,’ emphasizes the critical role that engineering plays in creating a more sustainable future. The campaign will span a whole year, featuring numerous events, films, articles, and news outlets to highlight achievements in engineering worldwide. As official partners, ACO and Abdulwahab's Office will share their insights and expertise, contributing to a proactive approach in raising awareness about engineering's impact on sustainable development. The campaign aims to reach over 100 million individuals, facilitating discussions on technological advancements crucial to resolving pressing issues like climate change. The involvement of key industry leaders not only provides pertinent insights but also serves as an inspiration for aspiring engineers, emphasizing the profession’s importance in achieving global sustainability targets. Notable figures from both organizations articulated their enthusiasm for participating in the campaign, underlining the significance of engineering in historical and contemporary contexts and the urgency of inspiring a new generation of engineers.
