Every year, on September 21st, the world celebrates the International Day of Peace 2024, which is dedicated to promoting peace across nations and within our communities. This year's theme, "Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #Global Goals," highlights the integral connection between peace and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At Ultech Engineering, we take pride in contributing to several SDGs, fostering an environment where peace and development go hand-in-hand.
The International Day of Peace, established by the United Nations in 1981, is observed annually on September 21st. The day is dedicated to promoting peace among nations and within communities, advocating for a cessation of conflict, and fostering a culture of non-violence and harmony. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to strive for peace and a just world, urging individuals, organizations, and governments to engage in actions that contribute to a more peaceful and inclusive society.
Each year, the International Day of Peace is marked by a specific theme that underscores different aspects of peace and development. For 2024, the theme is "Actions for Peace: Our Ambition for the #Global Goals," highlighting the integral link between peace and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These goals, adopted by the United Nations in 2015, provide a blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. They address global challenges, including poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.
Peace and the SDGs are intrinsically connected, as sustainable development can only be achieved in a peaceful environment, and lasting peace requires sustainable development.

At Ultech Engineering, we prioritize the well-being of our employees through comprehensive health benefits, wellness programs, and a supportive work environment. By fostering good health, we contribute to a peaceful society where individuals can thrive and contribute effectively to community development.
Example: We have introduced a new initiative that offers financial incentives for employees to undergo regular health check-ups. By covering the costs of clinic visits and health screenings, we encourage our staff to take proactive steps toward maintaining their health. This initiative has led to a noticeable increase in the number of employees attending regular health check-ups, significantly improving overall well-being and aligning with our commitment to SDG 3.
Education is a powerful tool for peace. Ultech Engineering invests in the continuous education and training of our staff, ensuring they have the knowledge and skills to excel in their roles.

Energy is a critical factor in building sustainable and peaceful communities. Ultech Engineering is at the forefront of developing and promoting affordable and clean energy solutions. By focusing on renewable energy sources, we help reduce environmental impact and contribute to the global effort of achieving clean energy for all.
