Green Project Technologies

Today is a truly special day, because I get to share something that has been in the works for quite a long time. I'm proud to announce that Optera has been acquired by Green Project Technologies (an ACT Group company)! This milestone marks the beginning of an incredible new chapter for Optera, our customers, partners, and, I believe, the industry as a whole. We started Optera with a clear mission: to accelerate the transition to the low-carbon economy. Our mission led us to build a leading carbon accounting and sustainability management platform used by many of the world's largest companies, including Target, HPE, Intel, Saks, John Deere, KKR, Emerson, Lime, Toast, Robinhood, Box, and many more. Joining forces with Green Project and ACT Group, we now have the opportunity to work toward this mission on a truly massive scale. With thousands of enterprise customers, a global team, one of the largest renewable energy trading companies worldwide, and a fully end-to-end carbon management platform for companies at any stage in their journey, the impact we can have gives me chills. I'm proud to join the leadership team at Green Project as the Chief Revenue Officer. Together, we have an incredible opportunity to move this industry and the sustainability efforts of thousands of global corporations forward at a pace I could only have dreamed of before. Looking back on this journey, I am so grateful for the opportunity to lead and help build Optera. I'm a different and better person than I was when we started in 2016. Thank you to everyone who believed in Optera and me over these past 10 years (customers, employees, investors, partners, and spouses). I'm proud of what we accomplished together and how we did it. None of this would have been possible without your support at every stage. I'm ending this stage of the journey with a full heart, a bald head, and some wisdom I'll take with me the rest of my life. Onward to this next chapter!

Five years ago, Green Project was a tiny team in New York helping suppliers and private equity portfolio companies calculate their carbon emissions. Back then, I looked up to companies like Optera and Emitwise. They were working with the enterprise customers we hoped one day we'd have the chance to serve. As we grew, something surprised me. The biggest challenge for enterprises wasn't just measuring emissions or even Scope 3. It was trying to manage decarbonization across disconnected systems, fragmented data, and multiple providers. That realization completely changed our vision. Today, I'm thrilled to share that Green Project has acquired Optera. Combined with our recent acquisition of Zeroute, we're bringing together enterprise carbon accounting, supplier engagement, renewable energy procurement, and science-aligned transition planning into a single platform. More importantly, we're bringing together incredible people. Tim Weiss will join as CRO and Ty Colman focused on global strategic accounts, while Ed and Ben continue leading Product and Engineering alongside the amazing Green Project team that got us here. Together, we now support 100+ enterprise customers, 6,000 suppliers, and many Fortune 500 companies. I truly believe we're building something that can transform how enterprises approach decarbonization. A huge thank you to everyone at Green Project Technologies, Optera (now part of Green Project Technologies), Zeroute (Now Part of Green Project), Emitwise (now part of Green Project), and to our customers and partners who believed in us along the way. Five years ago, I hoped we'd one day get the chance to work with companies like Optera. Now I'm proud to say we're on the same team. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dR3kJVk7

Green Project has acquired Optera, forming the industry's leading AI climate management platform. Trusted by 700+ enterprise clients. Access to 25,600+ global suppliers. Renewable energy procurement across 100+ countries. Audit-grade accounting, supply chain engagement, and decarbonization in one place, backed by ACT Group's global market infrastructure.

Scope 3 data from thousands of suppliers across dozens of countries is one of the hardest problems in enterprise sustainability. Green Project has acquired Optera, strengthening our enterprise carbon accounting and bringing it together with supply chain engagement at scale and renewable energy procurement, all in one place.

CSRD, CBAM, SB 253, and more are turning voluntary sustainability disclosure into a legal obligation. Green Project has acquired Optera, forming the industry's leading AI climate management platform: audit-grade accounting and reporting, supply chain engagement, and renewable energy procurement in one place. Compliance becomes the starting point for real decarbonization, not the finish line.

For years, climate work has stopped at measurement. Companies calculate emissions and set targets, then stall on how to close the gap. Now enterprises and every one of their suppliers have one place to move from measurement to action: audit-grade accounting, supply chain engagement, and renewable energy procurement, with AI at the core.
