Mott MacDonald’s David Orr wins United Nations Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Pioneer award
Mott MacDonald’s David Orr has been named winner of this year’s United Nations Global Compact Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Pioneer award.
David was commended for supporting the SDG’s goals and inspiring others to advance the UN Global Compact’s agenda for sustainable development. The award is its highest commendation for promoting corporate sustainability – a fantastic achievement. It was announced on June 2nd by the Assistant Secretary-General of the UN Global Compact, Sanda Ojiambo, in an event opened by the UN Secretary-General, António Guterres.
David said: “I’m thrilled to be recognised alongside an inspiring group of global peers for driving sustainability and positioning business as a force for good. It’s a testament to the fantastic opportunities and support provided by Mott MacDonald.”
The UN Global Compact recognised the strong focus David has given to developing sustainability in emerging markets. David has driven forward high-profile, national-level transformation programmes which includes working with the governments of India and Kenya to develop carbon reduction pathways to help them meet their climate commitments.
David has also worked on projects across the globe to support sustainable social outcomes. These range from public-private health partnerships in Pakistan to supporting the digitisation of South Sudan’s education management system.
His commitment to making a difference extends outside of work. David is an Associate at the University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School and an Executive with Science Resources Africa - an NGO which provides access to science, technology, engineering and mathematics education in West Africa.
Denise Bower, Group external engagement director said: ‘It’s fantastic to see that David’s hard work has been recognised with such a prestigious award. Advancing sustainability is at the very heart of our purpose and the work David has been involved in clearly demonstrates that we’re not only committed to making a difference – we’re proactively taking action and delivering. This is a great achievement for David and our business overall and we should all be proud of his success.”
