Our mission is to accelerate the transition to net zero.
Transformation requires a spirit of dedication. That's why we have one of the world's largest professional green investor and developer teams, who pursue this mission every day.
The transition to a green economy requires global action. That's why we are active in over 25 markets, creating new green infrastructure around the world. That's why we collaborate with communities, governments, and strategic partners to integrate international experience and local knowledge into developed and emerging markets.
This transformation still requires groundbreaking solutions. That's why we cross mature and emerging green energy technologies, running through various stages of the project lifecycle, bringing our financial, investment, and development experience into every project.
Our mission supports everything we do. It is rooted in the way we conduct business and is protected by independent trustees of green purpose companies. To ensure that our project aligns with our mission, each GIG project is individually rated according to our green investment standards, and we publish detailed information on our green impact to ensure transparency.
Career opportunities
In 2021, Green Power Investment Group (GIG) collaborated with non-profit organizations Generation UK and Green Power Group to launch the UK's first green employment program, "Green Generation Employment.". The plan aims to provide candidates with training and employment opportunities to help them cope with the challenges of unemployment and the growing demand for green jobs, enabling them to succeed in the crucial job of transitioning to net zero. 74% of graduates found employment within six months after the launch of the plan. The average placement salary for graduates is about 25000 pounds, and it has changed the lives of many people during a period of continuous decline in living costs. 93% of graduates feel better prepared for global work.
The transition to net zero will bring a large number of employment opportunities. By 2030, it is estimated that 2 million people will need to improve their skills in various fields such as wind, solar, and insulation to achieve the global net zero target. However, the supply of skilled workers is insufficient to meet demand, and 65% of surveyed "green" employers are working hard to find new employees needed to achieve a transition to net zero.
To avoid any delays in achieving the net zero target, it is necessary to be prepared to quickly expand green skills initiatives.
By providing training and access to jobs crucial for the net zero transition for unemployed young people, we can simultaneously address the issue of youth unemployment and the growing demand for green jobs.
