Osborne Clark advises ACT Group on Emitwise acquisition

International legal practice Osborne Clarke has advised ACT Group on the acquisition of the Emitwise technology platform by its subsidiary Green Project Technologies. This strategic acquisition positions Green Project Technologies as the best-in-class supply chain climate solution, combining Emitwise's automated, broad supplier offerings with Green Project's audit-grade accounting, ACT's global reach, and an existing suite of decarbonisation products.

ACT Group develops and provides comprehensive and innovative environmental solutions that empower businesses globally to achieve their environmental goals efficiently and transparently. Green Project Technologies, acquired by ACT in 2023, is an intuitive web-based platform that helps enterprises measure, manage, and reduce emissions across their operations and supply chains. Pairing digital solutions for carbon accounting, supplier engagement, audit-grade reporting and renewable energy procurement with broad advisory services for supplier program development, Green Project Technologies transforms climate goals into action.

The Osborne Clarke team was led by corporate partner Richard Porter, with senior associate Sarah Mitchell and associate Andrew Blyth in corporate, together with partner Marcus Vass and associate Ian Solomon in commercial, associate director Lara Fatemi in employment, and partner James Meakin and senior associates Rohesia Vince-Brown and Anna Reynolds in tax.

“We were delighted to act for ACT Group on its acquisition, through its subsidiary Green Project Technologies, of the Emitwise technology platform. Building on its acquisition of Green Project Technologies itself, this marks the start of ACT's exciting next chapter in climate innovation.”
