The Jospong Group of Companies (JGC) is participating in the 30th Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP30) in Belém, Brazil, using the global platform to showcase a proven model for sustainable development.
The summit, which opened on November 10, will conclude on November 21, 2025.
Key themes at COP30 include combating climate change denial, addressing the inadequate ambition of national climate targets, and advancing the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Other major discussions focus on climate finance for developing countries and the impact of the fossil fuel industry on global emissions.
JGC’s high-level delegation is led by the General Manager of the Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant (IRECOP) in Accra, Betty Brown Nyadu, and the General Manager of the Jospong Green Transition Office, Ing. Glenn Kwabena Gyimah (PhD).
They are accompanied by Senior Sustainability Officer Dr. Gloria Boamah Kusi and a team of journalists.
Speaking at the launch of the LONGi Climate Action White Paper, an official UNFCCC side event held on Saturday, November 15, Dr. Boamah Kusi announced that the IRECOP initiative, implemented by JGC through its subsidiary Zoomlion Ghana Limited, has delivered significant economic and social benefits.
“It has created over 1,000 green jobs, with more than 35% of these roles filled by women, while improving sanitation and living conditions for over 1.4 million residents across Ghana,” she said, emphasizing the initiative’s direct impact on communities.
She described this achievement as a core component of a people-centered climate approach.
“This is what we proudly call carbon inclusion, ensuring that the benefits of climate finance reach those who need them most,” Dr. Kusi explained. “It proves that a sustainable business model can be both profitable and equitable, where waste truly becomes wealth.”
Developed under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, the IRECOP project not only reduces emissions but also advances key Sustainable Development Goals by creating decent work opportunities and promoting gender equality.
Dr. Boamah Kusi concluded that the initiative offers a scalable and replicable blueprint for how strategic climate investments can drive economic opportunity and environmental protection across the Global South.
