OBE Sustainability UK | Climate Tech Consultancy & Net Zero Solutions
We’re delighted to announce the opening of OBE Sustainability UK — a new hub for life cycle assessment (LCA), decarbonisation strategy, sustainable procurement, and climate-tech sustainability due diligence, serving clients across the UK and Europe.
From our headquarters in Hong Kong, OBE has been supporting companies and investors across Asia and Europe. The UK launch marks the next step in our global growth — bringing our expertise closer to one of the world’s most advanced sustainability and climate-tech ecosystems.
Why the UK — and why now
Few markets match the UK’s depth on sustainability, finance, and innovation. The country combines world-class research institutions, forward-looking corporates, and one of the most active investor communities in Europe. This makes the UK not just a policy leader, but a practical launchpad for technologies and business models that accelerate the transition to Net Zero.
A thriving climate-tech ecosystem
The UK is Europe’s most valuable tech ecosystem by valuation, and climate tech is a major growth engine within it. The UK continues to outperform broader markets in climate‑tech funding. In 2024, the sector attracted £4.5 billion in VC and private equity investment, a robust 24% year‑on‑year increase, even as global climate‑tech investment declined. AI‑powered climate tech firms in the UK saw their funding soar by 128%, totaling £1.01 billion and capturing 22% of all global investment in these solutions.
Even under challenging macroeconomic conditions, this surge underscores the UK’s strength as a hub for innovation in climate tech.
Corporate and institutional capital remains active too. For example, the National Wealth Fund has committed up to £500 million toward battery storage infrastructure—an effort aimed at accelerating clean energy integration across the UK. Public innovation funding via Innovate UK and UKRI continues to be a powerful catalyst for Net Zero projects, supporting both early-stage ideas and commercial scale-ups.
The result is a dense, collaborative market spanning offshore wind and grid-scale storage; space energy & industry; advanced maritime & shipping propulsion systems; carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and engineered removals; advanced materials and circular manufacturing; agri-food and nature tech; built-environment optimisation; electric mobility; and AI/ML for systems-level efficiency.
What OBE Sustainability UK brings as a climate tech consultancy
Lifecycle intelligence at speed. Our LCA work supports product design, procurement, and capital allocation, helping teams prioritise high-leverage interventions across Scope 1–3 and avoid greenwashing pitfalls.
Sustainable procurement that saves. We combine spend analytics with supplier engagement to deliver measurable cost and carbon reductions — building the commercial case for Net Zero.
Climate-tech diligence that looks beyond hype. For both private and institutional investors, we assess technology readiness, unit economics, scale-up risks, supply-chain exposure, and policy fit. Just as importantly, we help climate-tech startups validate their environmental credentials — ensuring solutions deliver genuine emissions reductions and resilience, not just marketing claims. Our experience spans the breadth of the UK ecosystem, from clean energy and transportation to carbon capture and agri-tech.
Communication that matters. Alongside our advisory work, we host the RAW Green podcast, where we spotlight the positive impact of climate tech, sustainability, and policy. We interview founders, investors, and sustainability leaders shaping the Net Zero transition. This platform keeps us plugged into the latest climate-tech innovations and investment trends — insights we channel directly into the strategies we develop for our clients.
Who we work with
Corporates decarbonising products and supply chains, seeking measurable reductions in cost and carbon.
Climate-tech founders making sure their technologies are genuinely positive for the environment — and preparing for institutional investment rounds with robust data and impact evidence.
Investors building high-integrity climate portfolios and needing clear sustainability due diligence.
The common thread: ambition, rigour, and a drive to execute on Net Zero goals.
Our commitment
OBE exists to turn climate intent into competitive advantage — combining analytical depth with operator pragmatism. Whether you are scaling a breakthrough technology or greening a complex value chain, we’ll help you find the fastest route to durable emissions cuts, and real economic value.
