Geo Pomona Waste Management chief executive officer and executive chairman Mr Dilesh Nguwaya has been awarded a Leaders Without Borders International honours in the United Kingdom for his role in promoting environmental awareness and protection.

In his acceptance speech yesterday, Mr Nguwaya, who was also conferred with a Professional Honorary Doctorate degree in Leadership and Management from the City University of Paris, said the positive and conducive environment instituted by the Second Republic had seen the country taking an active role in championing innovative waste management solutions.
“I dedicate this award to the positive reforms taking place in Zimbabwe under the Second Republic, led by His Excellency, President Dr ED Mnangagwa, who is advocating the adoption of innovative responses to Waste Management.
“Geo Pomona Waste Management Private Limited is a testament to that national strategic policy success.
“We have become a leading innovator in waste management solutions in Zimbabwe, not only creating jobs but also contributing to a cleaner environment as well as Energy Security Thrust,” he said.

“I am greatly honoured to be recognised for the leadership qualities and development emanating from the enabling environment for sustainable solutions.
“The award underscores the importance of waste management as a sector for addressing global challenges like climate change. Geo Pomona Waste Management Private Limited tackles this very issue by implementing innovative waste management solutions,” he said.
Mr Nguwaya expressed gratitude for the conferment saying it was a true honour.
“It is a pleasure to be here in London today for this prestigious ceremony. I send you all the Warmest of Love from Zimbabwe and take the opportunity to appreciate the Honour accorded to me by Leaders Without Borders Development Centre.
“Allow me to acknowledge the presence of the centre’s principal founder, Dr Hillary Emoh” he said.
“With utmost humility, I accept the conferment of this Professional Honorary Doctorate Degree in Leadership and Management from the City University of Paris, France as well as the 9th Prestigious Leaders Without Borders International Honours, under the category: Award for Global Excellence — Business Enterprise and Corporate Global Governance.”
Zimbabwe Ambassador to the United Kingdom Christian Katsande said Mr Nguwaya’s recognition was well deserved
“Dr Nguwaya’s project is evidence of the positive reforms taking place in Zimbabwe in line with the National Development Strategy 1.
” I wish to emphasise the foreign policy thrust spearheaded by His Excellency the President Dr. Emmerson D. Mnangagwa in economic diplomacy.
” Under the Second Republic, the once frost relations between Zimbabwe and United Kingdom have thawed significantly resulting in the increase in volumes of trade notable an increase by 76 percent in the last twelve months. We have also seen an increase in tourists,” he said.
