Sustainability is a focus for more and more organisations, but prioritising decarbonisation is hard for community groups. Meridian's Community Decarbonisation Fund has been designed to take help community groups accelerate their decarbonisation efforts across the nation. The Community Decarbonisation Fund uses the net proceeds from Meridian's Certified Renewable Energy product and reinvests them into community group decarbonisation projects across the country. Already, more than $3 million has been invested into community projects that reduce emissions or increase distributed generation.
