Climate Resilience
You shouldn't be working out rising costs on your own
The same systems that reduce waste and energy stress also protect wellbeing.
Power bills climbing. Buildings that were never built for the job. Go Eco's Climate Resilience Programme works with Waikato organisations to cut energy and waste costs, and to share what works so the next organisation is not starting from scratch.
Sign up your organisation.
Money goes back into the mahi instead of out through the roof.
Frequently asked questions
Who is the CRP for?
It’s for Waikato-based NFPs, SMEs, for-purpose organisations, Maori businesses, trusts, and charities with under 25 full-time staff. If your organisation has 25 or more full-time staff, contact us to discuss the right support pathway. Participants can access free onsite and online workshops, and site audits to identify efficiencies and cost saving opportunities.
Do we need sustainability expertise to use it?
No. The portal is built for everyday teams. Guides, templates, and advisor support are available whenever you get stuck.
How long does it take to get started?
Most teams can register and work through the first learning steps in under an hour. Your emissions data and progress record build up over time as your data grows.
Is our data kept private?
Yes. Your organisation's emissions and assessment data is private to your team. Anonymised insights may be used to improve the programme. Anonymised data totals may be shared with our funder.
Is our data shared with third parties?
No. Your organisation's data is not sold or shared with third parties. Only anonymised insights may be used to improve the programme.
Can we get one-on-one help?
Yes. You can raise an advisor enquiry from inside the portal whenever your team hits a roadblock or needs a second set of eyes.
