«"Waste management is more than collecting waste; it is essential for protecting public health, conserving the environment and driving economic growth. Our sector deserves greater recognition and investment because it is key to building resilient cities, combating climate change and creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come," Achieng said.»

Speaking after receiving the Jubilant Steward of Africa Award, George Achieng, Director of Boredo Engineering Waste Management Solutions, described the recognition as a significant milestone for the company, saying it underscored the critical role that waste management plays in environmental conservation, public health and sustainable development.

Achieng said the prestigious award was not only a recognition of Boredo Engineering Waste Management Solutions' efforts but also an acknowledgement of the wider waste management sector, whose contribution to building cleaner, healthier and more sustainable communities often goes unrecognised.

He noted that effective waste management is a cornerstone of environmental protection, helping to reduce pollution, improve sanitation, promote recycling and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. He added that the sector also creates employment opportunities, conserves natural resources and contributes significantly to economic growth and sustainable urban development.

According to Achieng, the award reflects the hard work, dedication and commitment of the entire Boredo team, while reaffirming the company's growing reputation and the trust that clients and partners have placed in its services.

"This award means a great deal to Boredo. Receiving the Jubilant Steward of Africa Award is a clear indication that our work is being recognised and that the services we provide are making a meaningful impact. It is also a recognition of the vital role that the waste management sector plays in protecting our environment, safeguarding public health and improving the quality of life in our communities," he said.

Achieng added that the recognition demonstrated Boredo's growing impact not only in Kenya but also across the African continent. He said the award would strengthen the company's brand, enhance its visibility and create new opportunities for strategic partnerships and expansion.

He thanked the organisers for recognising the company's contribution to sustainable waste management and expressed gratitude to Boredo's employees, customers and business partners for their unwavering support, commitment and confidence in the company's vision.

Achieng said the recognition would inspire Boredo Engineering Waste Management Solutions to continue investing in innovation, adopting modern waste management technologies and delivering sustainable solutions that meet the evolving needs of households, businesses and industries.

He noted that Boredo provides integrated waste management solutions, including waste collection, transportation, recycling, recovery and environmentally responsible disposal services for households, commercial establishments and industries. He said the company remains committed to supporting Kenya's environmental sustainability agenda by promoting responsible waste management practices that protect public health and preserve natural resources.

"We are truly grateful for this honour. It motivates us to work even harder, continue innovating and expand our footprint across Africa while maintaining the quality and excellence that our customers have come to expect from Boredo Engineering Waste Management Solutions. We hope this award also shines a spotlight on the indispensable role of waste management in creating cleaner cities, protecting the environment and securing a more sustainable future for generations to come," he said.

Achieng called for greater recognition and investment in the waste management sector, saying it is fundamental to building resilient cities, combating climate change and driving the transition to a green and circular economy. He urged governments, businesses and communities to work together in embracing sustainable waste management practices, noting that environmental stewardship is a shared responsibility that will determine the quality of life for present and future generations.
