Our Purpose
Making good choices easier
Many people are looking for ways to feel more secure, save money and make choices that support their wellbeing and the environment. The way our economy works pushes us to consume and pollute beyond safe limits, damaging nature and disrupting the climate we all depend on. This is making it harder to afford the basics we all need: food, shelter, water, energy, healthcare and insurance.
We help Kiwis work together towards sustainable access to essentials for everyone. Our aim is for communities and nature to thrive and stay protected for future generations. Our community work is led by our charity, the GoZero Foundation.
Household
Save money with sufficiency
Sufficiency means spending on what makes life better and cutting back on what doesn’t. Buying less of the things we don’t need also means using fewer resources and creating less pollution. Our Sufficiency Savings Tool helps you find smarter ways to meet your needs, so you can build up your savings and spend on what really matters to your household.
Community
Join a GoZero Team
Many people want to change things, but there’s no easy way to organise with others. A GoZero Team gives you that. It’s a small group of friends, colleagues or neighbours who solve practical problems together, starting with our Savings Tool.
Working together helps overcome barriers and build shared access to essentials like energy, transport and food. These local actions are how wider change begins. Start a team with people you know, or join our waiting list and we’ll help connect you with others nearby.
Local Businesses
Buy local
Spending locally supports a business you know and keeps money in your community. It matters most for essentials, so that people can still get food and other basics locally, whatever happens.
GoZero is building a network of local businesses that support our community work. Our community work supports them in return, so each helps the other.
Systems Change
Working together for change
Kiwis can only do so much on their own. Many choices that would save money and protect nature are still hard to make, because the systems we rely on aren't set up for them.
Real change comes from acting together. We help households, communities and businesses work out where they can make the biggest difference, and act on what none of them can change alone. Doing this with people you know and trust is what makes it work. Our aim is to make the choices that are best for people and nature the easiest and most affordable for everyone, in ways that support local economies as things change.
GoZero For Business
Protect your business from rising risks
Businesses and their suppliers are under pressure from rising energy costs, scarcer resources and a less stable climate. GoZero helps your business understand these risks and prepare for them through our advisory services. You can also join our business network and Buy Local campaign, and support local community projects that strengthen the local economy you depend on.
