Race towards a better future
Sign up for the Race to 2030 and take up the challenge to reduce your company's greenhouse gas emissions by at least 5% each year. Reducing emissions each year is only way for the world to stay on track for net zero emissions by 2050. It's also good for your business. Rewiring Aotearoa's latest report shows that changing economics in New Zealand, notably the decreasing cost of renewable energy and the increasing cost of fossil fuels, means that reducing emissions can now save your business money. We want to help you make that a reality for your business. Taking action is also good for your brand image. Earn a Race winner certificate each year to 2030 and tell your customers that you're taking action.
The Race to 2030 has Bronze, Silver and Gold race categories to match your needs, whether your business is just starting to reduce emissions, or is an established climate leader. If you need assistance, our partner GoZero will help your business to more easily reduce its carbon emissions, by connecting you with appropriate solutions and services, and by recognising and rewarding your progress each year.
Individuals can also join the Race to 2030, as we need every sector to enjoy the economic, health and social benefits of emissions reductions. We urge all participants in the Race to go beyond 5% per year and aim for a total of 50% emissions reductions by 2030. The quicker you start, the easier that will be.
Don't get left behind
We understand that times are tough, and want to help your business gain recognition and stand out from the crowd, boosting your brand and sales, while doing the right thing.

The Greendeals Charitable Trust
The Race to 2030 is organised by the Greendeals Charitable Trust, in partnership with GoZero Limited.
The Greendeals Charitable Trust is a registered charity based in Wellington, New Zealand (registration number CC53338). Its board includes members with significant experience in business, government and non-profits.
Preventing the worst impacts of the climate crisis will require significant decarbonisation across all sectors. The decade to 2030 is crucial for the planet's future and action to reduce emissions cannot wait for 2050. The solutions we need already exist, but uptake has to increase.
We have therefore established the Race to 2030 to boost immediate action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
