The leading global climate technology and advisory platform has announced its integration with sustainability consultancy Green Element into its business. The move reinforces 51-0’s ambition to accelerate credible climate action and unites its advanced AI-powered platform for emissions management, as well as a transition planning platform with one of Europe’s leading sustainability consultancies.
Green Element was founded in 2004. It has built a strong reputation for science-based sustainability advisory, helping to support hundreds of organisations in building environmental strategies. They have a strong track record across marketing and advertising, professional services, food and beverages, and healthcare.
The integration will help fuel 51-0s AI-driven high-tech platform, which automates reporting, ensures compliance, engages suppliers and employees, drives transition to net zero and embeds climate action into everyday business decisions. Clients will now have full access to a full range of consultancy and platform support. These include:
- Climate risk, LCAs, business case, materiality assessments
- SECR, CSRD and SBTi-aligned compliance tools
- Supplier engagement workflows and scope 3 capabilities
- Interactive dashboards and progress-tracking
- Transformative tools built directly into the platform
- Guidance from Climate Success Managers with sector-specific expertise
On the integration, Richard Davis, CEO and co-founder of 51-0, said, “This is a natural partnership. Green Element’s approach to climate leadership and its community of passionate change-makers perfectly complement our technology-first model. By combining their deep advisory experience with our scalable platform, we can empower organisations worldwide to embed sustainability into everyday decisions and deliver real, measurable climate impact.”
Will Richardson, the founder of Green Element, will continue in a leadership position at 51-0. “After two decades of building Green Element, it was essential for me that our clients, our people, and the community around us continue to thrive,” said Richardson. “It’s clear that 51-0 shares our mission and passion. Integrating our experience into 51-0’s incredible platform allows us to stay true to what has always driven us – helping businesses use sustainability as a force for positive change. I’m excited to keep leading that mission within 51-0, supporting the network and community of pioneering businesses united by the belief that climate action is both an obligation and an opportunity.”
About the integration, Woodcock, chairman of 51-0, said, “While the climate tech market has faced increased volatility, 51-0 has continued to grow at pace. Over the past two years, we have exceeded market growth (estimated at 19% CAGR, Verdantix 2025) by more than quadrupling our revenue, and doubling our team across both the tech and the consulting functions – reinforcing our position as one of the few climate technology businesses demonstrating both scale and momentum.”
“As climate technology advances and regulatory pressures return and intensify, organisations are looking for a single integrated partner to supplement their teams and bring together strategic climate insight, regulatory expertise, supplier and employee engagement and robust technology to drive measurable results. By bringing Green Element into the 51-0 platform, we’re raising the bar for what businesses should expect from their sustainability partners—delivering clarity, compliance and real-world carbon reduction all in one place.”
The integration means that 51-0 is now one of the largest and fastest-growing climate technology and advisory platforms in the UK, with firms also established in Europe and North America.
The involvement of new technologies in sustainability must be utilised. Particularly, the power of AI when harnessed correctly can help streamline operations and boost general productivity. 51-0 is, in collaboration with Green Element, helping pioneer new ways AI and other green technologies can be used for the climate transition.
