WHAT IS THE GJZCC ?

GJZCC will help SME’s achieve and shout about a sustainable future. It is a Club, something that organisations are proud to be involved with and want to be a part of.

The GJZCC will give all members access to policies, procedures, advice, carbon measurement and monitoring tools. It will, via its website, newsletters, webinars, event attendance, talks, social media, and editorial keep members informed, not only about the big picture of climate change, but about the small changes and innovations that can save money and help mitigate climate change.
