March 4th marks an extraordinary occasion – World Engineering Day, a UNESCO-designated international day. On this day, we celebrate not just the scientific and technical achievements of engineers but their contributions towards crafting a sustainable future.
This year, we are embracing the theme “Unleashing the Power of Engineers to Advance the Sustainable Development Goals”. At Wave International we take this opportunity to reflect on our commitment to these ideals, as we continue our journey to shape a resourceful world through innovative engineering solutions
Aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for a Sustainable Tomorrow
Our operational philosophy and objectives are strategically aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically focusing on the below four goals that have a direct impact on our planet’s health and our collective well-being:
- Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – Our advisory teams are dedicated to identifying and developing sustainable economic projects that contribute to sustainable economic growth. These projects are diverse and not limited to the resources sector, spanning technology, energy, and broader infrastructure.
- Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy – For over 25 years, this has been a primary area of Wave’s operations and projects. Our projects have spanned various facets from the supply chains of critical battery materials to the development of wind and solar energy solutions. While we continue to engage with traditional energy resources, our core ambition is to transition into more sustainable energy practices.
- Goal 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – As part of our future growth area, we focus on projects which aid in building infrastructure critical for the support of new industries and emerging communities. This will ensure that all initiatives are scalable, impactful, and aligned with future growth trajectories.
- Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation – Recognising the indispensability of hygienic water for global health, Wave International is pioneering regional water supply projects, working in tandem with strategic partners like The Right Water Company.
Collaboration stands at the core of our operations. By partnering with organisations like Engineers Australia, we ensure that the next generation of engineers is equipped with the necessary tools and knowledge to design tomorrow’s solutions today.
Empowering Engineers, Inspiring Innovation
On this World Engineering Day, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of engineers everywhere. Their unwavering dedication not only drives continued technological and scientific advancement but also ensures the alignment of these advancements with the needs of society and the planet.
As we look towards the future, we are committed to continuing our support for the UN SDGs. Through collaboration, innovation, and a shared vision, we believe that together, we can create a more resourceful world.
