But first, we’ve been reflecting on NCZ’s growth these past twelve months and what an incredible year it’s been. We’re proud to say our client base has tripled in that time and we’ve made significant improvements to simplify the overall client journey. For one client, where time was of the essence, we even managed a one-week turnaround: capturing all their emissions data and delivering their full carbon footprint report in just 7 days!
Our clients really mean everything to us, and we’d like to acknowledge those who’ve recently committed to starting their sustainability journey…
So, if you’re curious about your carbon footprint, and want to join the growing number of businesses taking responsibility… get in touch now. We appreciate knowing where to begin may seem daunting, which is why our friendly Customer Success Team are here to hold your hand.

Sustainability Tip
Have you ever considered conducting a basic energy audit to identify areas of waste and inefficiency?
Doing so, will enable you to implement simple, cost-effective measures that can lead to significant energy saving…
These can be as straightforward as switching to LED lighting, using programmable thermostats, and encouraging employees to power down electronics when not in use.
So, what are you waiting for?
Team Spotlight
This month our spotlight is on Pip from our Customer Success Team… get to know her a little better!
Q) What’s your claim to fame?
A) For various things, I’ve been in newspapers, magazine and on TV in Dubai, my uncle was an All Black, my aunty was a Black Stick… I even won a colouring competition once when I was 6 😂 But I think my biggest claim to fame is being married to one of only 50 men in world who has completed a Hells 500 Tripple Everest Challenge.
Q) If you had the opportunity to know the future, would you want to know?
A) Definitely would like to know – I like to plan!
Q) What’s your go-to karaoke song?
A) Don’t have one, will never sing in public no matter how many drinks I have (I won’t even sing “Happy Birthday” at parties)
Q) What’s your favourite childhood memory?
A) My dad died when I was really young, so my favourite memory is with him when I was about 5. Some nights after Mum had gone to bed already, I would sneak out of bed and would sit on my Dad’s lap and eat peanuts with him while he watched Blackadder. Mum never knew for years!
Q) Tea or coffee?
A) Coffee, always coffee! Tea is weird.
