We have been doing this since before it was a tender requirement
Our story begins with humble beginnings and continues to the thriving present day.
How we got here
2006
Started as Ethical Nation
Recognising the necessity for a distinct certification process to accurately measure and define levels of carbon management and reporting, Ethical Nation spearheaded the development of the NCZ programme.
2010/11
World's first carbon neutral service programme
Working with a series of early adopters, Ethical Nation created the first Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) based carbon management programme in the FM sector to ensure contracted services could be delivered as carbon neutral, and all on-site service-related emissions are reported on a client-by-client basis.
2022
After years of development, NCZ emerged
Committed to aiding businesses understand their carbon footprint, through measurement, management, and reduction, by leveraging innovative technology solutions, NCZ officially launched to offer a streamlined and accessible approach for companies in all sectors and geographical regions to embark on their journey to net zero.
2023
NCZ invested in innovative technology and launched into the UAE
Investing in the NCZ portal, enabled carbon footprint assessment and reporting processes to be streamlined. Meaning all organisational, operational and supply-chain emissions can be efficiently managed through each phase of the certification programme.
With the growing number of global clients, NCZ launched successfully into the United Arab Emirates and hosted its first Fringe Event alongside COP28.
2024
The growing team support SMEs through to large global corporations, spanning industries and sectors globally
The certification programme, plus carbon managed events and services, provides businesses with a competitive edge, commercially, socially, and environmentally.
January saw the world’s first carbon conscious soccer awards event, that NCZ benchmarked and offset in collaboration with the Dubai Sports Council and Globe Soccer Awards.
