Our Climate Commitment at GS Verde
GS Verde Group is proud to be a partner with the UNFCCC's Climate Neutral Now initiative. As a highly active company, it matters more than ever that we think about our environment and planet first when it comes to daily operations, in and outside of our offices.
Climate Neutral Now was launched in 2015 with the goal of encouraging and supporting all levels of society to take climate action to achieve a climate neutral world by 2050, as enshrined by the Paris Agreement adopted the same year.
GS Verde Group officially committed their plans to achieve net-zero status in 2021. So far, we have been awarded a silver certificate in our efforts to achieve net-zero, and are currently undergoing this years' assessment by Climate Neutral officials.
At GS Verde, we believe in a climate neutral world, and aim to make our Group operations achieve net-zero status by 2040.
