About Green Project: Green Project is a SaaS-based carbon accounting, renewable energy and sustainability data management platform. Under increasing pressure from regulators, investors, customers and employees, businesses—especially small- and medium-sized businesses—are struggling to calculate, report on, and manage down their GHG emissions.
Green Project’s new Decarbonization Platform empowers corporates, B2B purchasers and private investment managers with a reliable and scalable Scope 3 decarbonization solution. Organizations can leverage our platform to bring affordable renewable energy products (e.g., Energy Attribute Certificates) to their suppliers and portfolio companies, catalyzing value chain emissions reductions regardless of partner maturity and geography. Green Project’s renewable energy products are sourced by our parent company, ACT Group, a leading global environmental commodities trading and advisory firm with 15+ years’ experience building energy markets, and the Decarbonization Solutions Lead will be instrumental in aligning efforts across ACT Group and Green Project.
