In a landmark move set to reshape corporate climate action, we’re excited to announce that Ecologi, the UK’s most trusted climate action platform, has acquired Net Zero Now, the sector-specific carbon measurement and reduction platform for businesses.
The combined entity operating under the Ecologi brand will create a single solution for industry climate leadership towards net-zero. The integration combines sector-specific carbon measurement and reduction with world class verified climate projects that supports businesses wherever they are on their net-zero journey.
The game-changing impact of this acquisition
The strategic acquisition solves two fundamental challenges in corporate climate action: businesses have been forced to choose between fragmented solutions and generic ‘one size fits all’ approaches that ignore crucial sector-specific needs. By combining Net Zero Now’s sector-specific protocol expertise with Ecologi’s platform funding top-tier climate projects, we’re creating a tailored and complete solution helping businesses lead their industries towards net-zero.
Neil Ross Russell, Managing Director of Net Zero Now, said:
Businesses want to take climate action, but they want to know they’re doing it right and what’s right for a restaurant business is not the same as what’s right for an accounting firm. They need industry-specific guidance and clear pathways to climate leadership. By joining forces with Ecologi, we’re creating a platform that allows us to provide credible, simple and affordable, sector-specific, end-to-end climate solutions for businesses in our existing sectors and collaborate with industry partners on new sector-led solutions.
The acquisition aligns with Ecologi’s mission to accelerate business climate action and grow our 24,000 strong customer base. Established sector protocols including hospitality and professional services will be the initial focus with plans to expand across additional industries throughout 2025.
With organisations under increasingly complex stakeholder and industry compliance demands for environmental accountability, this end-to-end solution also ensures streamlined reporting, monitoring progress, supply chain transparency, and voluntary disclosures. This transforms business leaders into climate leaders with the confidence to tackle their climate commitments head-on, communicating and meeting critical regulatory requirements like SECR, CSRD and SBTi.
