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 highlight a proven model for sustainable development.
The summit opened on November 10 and is scheduled to conclude on November 21, 2025.
Key themes at COP30 include fighting climate change deniers, addressing the insufficient ambition of climate targets, and implementing the goal of keeping global temperature rise to \(1.5^{\circ }C\) above pre-industrial levels.
Other major themes involve climate finance for developing countries and the impact of the fossil fuel industry on emissions.
The high-level delegation is led by the General Manager of the Integrated Recycling and Compost Plant (IRECOP), 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 LONGi Climate Action White Paper launch—an official UNFCCC side event on Saturday, November 15—Dr. Boamah Kusi announced that the IRECOP initiative by JGC through its subsidiary, Zoomlion Ghana Limited, has generated a significant economic boost on the ground.
"It has created over 1,000 green jobs, with more than 35% of these roles filled by women, and is simultaneously improving sanitation and living conditions for over 1.4 million residents across Ghana," she stated, highlighting the project's direct human impact.

She framed this achievement as a core outcome of a people-centered climate model. "This is what we proudly call carbon inclusion, ensuring the benefits of climate finance reach those who need them most," Dr. Kusi explained. "It's proof 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, Dr. Boamah Kusi confirmed the IRECOP project not only cuts emissions but also delivers on key Sustainable Development Goals by generating decent work and promoting gender equality.
She concluded that this tangible success offers a scalable and replicable blueprint for how strategic climate investments can drive simultaneous economic opportunity and environmental protection throughout the Global South.
