In a clear demonstration of its commitment to fostering sustainability within Zimbabwe’s business landscape, the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA) proudly sponsored and presented the coveted Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Award at the prestigious Zimbabwe National Chamber of Commerce (ZNCC) 2025 Awards – Midlands Chapter. This strategic partnership underscores ZERA’s dedication to leading the charge in encouraging and recognizing corporate excellence in advancing sustainable development across the nation.
The initiative highlights ZERA’s expanding role beyond energy regulation, positioning itself at the forefront of a broader sustainability agenda. By spotlighting businesses that actively integrate SDGs into their operations, ZERA aims to inspire other corporate entities to embrace environmentally sound, socially equitable, and economically viable practices. This award serves as a powerful testament to the growing importance of corporate responsibility in achieving Zimbabwe’s national development objectives.
The fiercely contested SDG Award saw Econet Wireless emerge as the deserving winner, celebrated for its outstanding and demonstrable commitment to sustainable practices.
