Our main purpose is to work with partners from all sectors, organisations and people to ensure that Liverpool City Region reduces its Green House Gas (GHG) and carbon emissions in line with the Paris Agreement commitments by 2030 and reaches net-zero by 2040.
ZCL-CR is a Community Benefit Society regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Our current objects;
The Objects of the Society shall be to carry on any business for the benefit of the community by;
(a) developing and delivering a range of place-based projects that seek to reduce carbon emissions and resource consumption in line with the Paris Agreement or subsequent global agreements, addressing the climate emergency and maximising the co-benefits associated with those activities;
(b) increasing awareness by disseminating knowledge and information about the climate emergency and local responses to it, to the public as a whole
A community benefit society is like a co-op, owned and run by its members, but unlike a co-op it can trade for the benefit of the wider community.
We are a not-for-profit and any surplus that is made is re-invested back into the Society to further its aims. Our rules contain an asset lock.
