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, their local economy, and the environment. The way our economy works pushes us to consume and pollute beyond safe limits, damaging nature and the climate we all depend on. This is driving up costs and making it harder to afford the basics we all need: food, shelter, water, energy, healthcare and insurance.
We help Kiwis work together to build sustainable access to essentials for everyone. This helps communities, local economies and nature 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 what we don’t need also means using fewer resources and creating less pollution. Our Sufficiency Savings Tool helps you find savings, so you can put the money towards 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.
Community Wealth-Building
Buy local
Spending locally supports a business you know and strengthens the community around it. It matters most for essentials — building access to food and other key goods that keep a community running, whatever pressures come.
GoZero is building a network of local businesses that back our community work, just as our community work backs them, in a virtuous cycle.
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
