Introduction to OnePointFive

OnePointFive (OPF) is a remote advisory firm working to democratize access to multidisciplinary sustainability experts with a focus on commercializing climate technologies, deploying climate finance and providing bespoke sustainability services. Our vision is to accelerate solutions that enable businesses and the environment to coexist in harmony, ensuring global warming stays below OnePointFive degrees Celsius (1.5oC).

Since early 2020, OPF has been working to disrupt the traditional advisory model for accessing on-demand, cost-effective, and vetted sustainability experts. COVID has accelerated the future of work using remote technologies, and global business transitions to a “net-zero” and sustainable future will require increased access to sustainability talent. We provide customers with a centralized source of expert talent, expert insights, and productized services to meet their bespoke sustainability business needs.
