Torishima joins UNESCO World Engineering Day 2025 campaign

Torishima, as a leading voice in water pump technology, has been selected as an official partner for UNESCO World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development (WED) 2025, which was launched at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris on 4 March 2025.

An International Day proclaimed by UNESCO General Conference and open to everyone, WED is jointly operated by UNESCO and the World Federation for Engineering Organisations (WFEO), which spans some 100 countries and represents more than 30 million engineers.

The launch in Paris marks the start of a year-long campaign of events, films and related articles and news, highlighting the achievements of engineers and engineering around the world, and promoting engineering as a career.

Produced by the SJH Group โ€“ the official media partner and broadcaster for WED โ€“ all campaign content, which includes a multimedia hub dedicated to Torishima, is hosted on the WED website atย www.worldengineeringday.net.

As an official partner, Torishimaโ€™s insights and expertise will form an integral part of the 12-month campaign, which provides a springboard for governments, UN-associated organisations, policymakers, educators and leaders in the public and private sectors to raise awareness of the importance of engineering.

The WED campaign has an estimated global reach of more than 100 million individuals, and this yearโ€™s theme of โ€œShaping our sustainable future through engineeringโ€ focuses on the essential role that engineering has to play in achieving the UNโ€™s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Gerry Ashe, Director and Deputy CEO of Torishima, says: โ€œWater is an essential resource for life and the sustainability of the planet. At Torishima, our pumping technology enables efficient water management at every stage of the cycle, from catchment to purification and supply. Contributing to SDG 6 is part of our identity and commitment to society. We are proud to join in the celebration of World Engineering Day, highlighting the crucial role of engineering in solving the worldโ€™s water challenges.โ€

Addressing the significance of WED, Mustafa Shehu, President of the WFEO, says: โ€œWorld Engineering Day 2025 is all about putting engineering in the global spotlight, showing how engineers are leading the way in the effort to meet the UNโ€™s Sustainable Development Goal targets, and inspiring the next generation to find out more about what a career in engineering has to offer.โ€

Jacques de Mereuil, Executive Director of the WFEO, says: โ€œWeโ€™re thrilled to be involved in launching this important international celebration and campaign at UNESCOโ€™s global headquarters in Paris, and delighted to have Torishima involved, as an authority in water pump technology.โ€
