Core offering

Act Right is a Dutch transition consultancy (transitiebureau) that supports public and private organizations with sustainability, energy, water, and climate transition challenges. It delivers professional advisory and project-based services across five expertise areas — Energiesysteem, Warmtetransitie, ESG-beleid en rapportage, Energiegemeenschappen, and Gezonde leefomgeving — supported by data dashboards, GIS/Power BI analytics, and drone-based thermal imaging.

Product overview

Act Right is a transition consultancy firm for societal sustainability, not a traditional software product company. The company offers advisory services organized around five main expertises: Energy System (energiesysteem), Heat Transition (warmtetransitie), ESG Policy and Reporting (ESG-beleid en rapportage), Energy Communities (energiegemeenschappen), and Healthy Living Environment (gezonde leefomgeving). These service areas are supported by analytical tools and methods including energy data dashboards, climate dashboards for monitoring sustainable energy generation, drone-based thermal analysis for climate adaptation, and GIS/Power BI-driven data analysis. The portfolio functions as a unified advisory offering where expertise areas interconnect—energy systems feed into heat transition planning, ESG reporting supports sustainability strategy, and drone analysis provides granular environmental data for climate adaptation across sectors.
