KidsCan is going electric
KidsCan are installing an EV charging station and replacing two of their fleet vehicles with electric vehicles.
We’re taking our role in helping Aotearoa reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 seriously. We want to accelerate decarbonisation across the nation and want to help others do the same. We’re proud to introduce our Decarbonisation Community Fund – specifically set up to help community groups across Aotearoa reduce their carbon emissions.
We realise that prioritising decarbonisation is hard for community groups. But we also know that sustainability is a focus for more and more organisations every day. Whether it's by helping upgrade your community cars to electric vehicles or installing solar panels to generate renewable energy, Meridian wants to help you achieve a brighter and more sustainable future.
To give you an example of what we’ll fund or partially fund, we’ve started with a couple of projects that sit near and dear to our hearts.
