Together we are more than the sum of our parts. This is what inspired the birth of Destination Green Program conceived and initiated by the Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD). By exploring cross-sector synergies and promoting stakeholder engagement beyond their field of business, our program aims to widen the impact of efforts we are leading in the sustainability milieu.
If you’re a progressive organization who believes in ‘profits with purpose’, you are invited to join Destination Green Program. Help us break the silos by lending support to green projects, from all sectors, targeting climate mitigation and adaptation for a better world.

Why Join Destination Green Program?
It’s time to act at scale and speed! We are only years away from 2030 – UN’s deadline to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement. As the world navigates through the ‘decade of action’, nations are increasingly prioritizing low-carbon development. Political discourse is shifting in favour of climate action. Businesses are rethinking their corporate values, embedding ESG strategies and creating sustainable value chains. Millennials and Gen Zers are marking climate change among top concerns. Science too is clear. Insights emerging on global warming is hinting towards the looming climate crisis in the absence of tangible action. Our actions in the right direction can flip the script for a better future. Initiating, leading and supporting green initiatives can make a difference.
For over 14 years, GORD has been leading and inspiring change. At GORD, we help projects and organizations play their part in building a sustainable future for the region. Bridging sectors to explore synergies, we engage with industry, academia and social constituents to catalyze the path to climate-resilient future. From capacity building and RDI to enabling low-carbon infrastructure and building solutions, GORD targets all relevant dimensions of sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Joining Destination Green Program means you’re a part of the change GORD is leading today.
