Anthesis: Acquisitions Drive Rapid Growth of ESG Consultancy

The last few years has seen a step-change in appetite for ESG-led consultancy services.

Regulatory change coupled with pressure from stakeholders has expedited corporate spending on sustainability consulting.

According to Verdantix , the sector is estimated to grow 27% annually between 2022 and 2028, increasing from US$11.5 billion to US$49 billion.

Europe will see the fastest growth, at 29% annually, with North America and APAC not far behind; while services around corporate reporting will be most in demand, as directives across Europe and the US roll out over the next few years.

Catering to such demand, a growing list of corporate sustainability and ESG consultancies – large, small, general, and specialist – are turning to acquisitions as they look to bolster their reach, expertise, and capabilities.

Among acquisition announcements in recent weeks, Sphera , the leading provider of ESG performance and risk management software, is boosting its capabilities in tracking and reporting Scope 3 with the acquisition of SupplyShift .

While Apex Group has launched an ESG advisory unit built with MJ Hudson, a data and analytics company it acquired last year.

But it is global sustainability specialist Anthesis Group ’s growing acquisition spree – over the last year especially – that has really got heads turning.

Billed as the world’s largest pure-play sustainability advisory and solutions firm, the fast-growing London-based company has pulled off six acquisitions since June 2023 – when private equity investor Carlyle took a majority stake in the firm.

Revolt Deal Marks 22nd Acquisition for Anthesis in 10 Years

The acquisition of sustainable business transformation-focused consultancy Revolt London is the latest in a string of deals that sees Anthesis boost its expertise – and create “one of the leading purpose, brand activation, communications, reporting and strategy teams globally”.

According to Anthesis CEO Stuart McLachlan , the acquisition provides the firm with “world-class expertise and experience in purpose consulting, strategy and communication” enabling the merged company to help clients “manage risk and find value for our clients in their transformation journeys.”

This latest deal marks Anthesis’ 22nd acquisition since inception a decade ago – and adds to the Group's global offering, as it responds to the demand from the C-Suite unlock sustainable growth opportunities.

Rise of the Anthesis into World-Leading ESG Advisory

Established in 2013, and growing upwards of 20% in revenue annually, Anthesis bring together a growing team of more than 1,250 experts (activators) across 45 offices in 23 countries, from China to Colombia, Sweden to South Africa – to support more than 4,000 clients in setting and achieving their climate change goals.

From multinationals like Amazon, Unilever, Cisco, Tesco and Target, to financial and government institutions like Network Rail, the Group works with cities, companies, and other organisations from Australia to South Africa to develop financially driven sustainability strategies underpinned by deep technical expertise.

Experiencing rapid growth across its global customer base and network in recent years, Anthesis has built deep and broad expertise in analysing, designing and cementing impact-led sustainability, ESG and net zero programmes.

As CEO McLachlan puts it: “Anthesis is uniquely positioned to provide the holistic solutions the market demands, harnessing its advisory, digital, carbon, and communication skills in response to regulatory and stakeholder pressures.”

Anthesis Acquisition Strategy Delivers New Business Solutions

Marking a transformational year of growth, 2023 saw Anthesis build on its ESG portfolio and geographical reach with five key acquisitions – providing the advisory with greater expertise and new business models and solutions to meet increasingly demanding ESG and sustainability goals.

The acquired businesses spanned several new geographies and included supply chain consultancy, carbon offsetting, branding and marketing. 

• Progressive – acquisition of London-based bespoke growth and innovation consultancy brings offices in San Francisco, London, Singapore and Australia, multinational clients across sectors, and expertise to empower clients to “unlock
• ConTREEbute – acquisition of Colombian sustainability and offsetting consultancy significantly expands Anthesis’ presence in Latin America, with 70 staff in two offices. The merger bolsters Anthesis capabilities with an ESG data-focused SaaS tool that enables organisations to integrate sustainability into their business strategy
• Ndever Environment – acquisition of one of Australia’s leading sustainability advisory firms gives Anthesis a foothold in Australia with five offices and an extended presence in APAC with clients including Toyota, BHP and Rio Tinto.
• Wallbrook – acquisition of this global ESG advisory brings focus to the G in ESG, adding regulatory, ethics and anti-corruption expertise along with offices in London, LA, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore and Zurich.
• Charlescannon – acquisition of this impact-led creative change agency, located in Geneva, further establishes Anthesis in the Swiss market and bolsters its communications capabilities – bringing to the team exceptional talent in translating the science and analytics into a brand strategy that drives impact and changes behaviours – especially crucial given the greenwashing accusations that are so rife.

Describing the firm’s approach to portfolio building through M&A, in a recent webinar , Tristan Craddock , Global M&A Director at Anthesis said: “Our acquisition strategy has never been a Godzilla business that tried to stack volume – but rather everything we’ve invested in and partnered with has filled a strategic ned and there’s a gap for those businesses to thrive.”

B Corp Anthesis Setting Example of Sustainable Action

As well as supporting clients in the transition to sustainable performance, Anthesis practices what it preaches – first achieving B Corp status in 2021 and signing the B Corp Climate Collective to support climate emergency actions.

Anthesis has also set a science-based target (SBT) through the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and rolled out a global people system, enabling employees to collaborate more effectively and have visibility of their development progress.

Anthesis established partnerships with Take Action Global (a climate education charity) and other local charities to engage employees in conservation and biodiversity work.

Climate Neutral Group merges with Anthesis to deliver a complete Net Zero offering

Climate Neutral Group merges with Anthesis t o deliver a complete Net Zero offering to meet the needs of the decisive decade

Aligned in their response to the climate emergency, on delivering positive impact and in their purpose through B Corp accreditations

19 January 2022 – Anthesis, the sustainability activator and the largest group of dedicated sustainability professionals globally, announces a merger with Climate Neutral Group, a Net Zero authority on emissions analysis and reduction, offsetting, and certification programmes. This merger is in response to the climate emergency and the transformational thinking businesses need to adopt during the decisive decade to limit the rising of global temperatures as outlined in the Paris Agreement and recently at COP 26.

Headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands and with offices in Belgium and South Africa, the 50-strong firm is led by Managing Director René Toet, who will become part of Anthesis’ leadership team. Building on almost 20 years of climate solution innovation and expertise, Climate Neutral Group has supported more than 3,000 businesses with Greenhouse Gas footprinting, reduction, and offsetting initiatives since its establishment in 2002.

In addition, its ‘Climate Neutral Certified’ label, which verifies if a company or product’s CO 2 emissions are reduced in line with the Paris Agreement, is becoming a market standard to help organisations report their ongoing Net Zero efforts transparently and visibly to consumers. This Climate Neutral Certification Standard appears on 30 million consumer goods and is used by food multinationals like Ahold Delhaize Coffee Company and Arla Foods NL.

An important milestone in Anthesis’ growth strategy following its investment from Palatine last year, this merger strengthens Anthesis’ full-service Net Zero offering from avoidance and reduction strategies to the provision of high-quality carbon offsetting, technology innovation, extensive project development capabilities and certification. In addition, this merger enables Anthesis to extend its international reach by entering the Benelux and South African markets. For Climate Neutral Group, its clients will have access to Anthesis’ full suite of Net Zero, ESG and sustainability services and experts across its global network.

Aligned with Anthesis’ commitment to driving impact, Climate Neutral Group has completed more than 3,750 carbon analytics and reduction programmes and offset more than 12 million tonnes of CO 2 e through impact-led climate projects that meet VCS or Gold Standard and contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These projects include reducing deforestation and protecting biodiversity in the Maisa forest in Brazil to South Africa’s first AgriCarbon programme which pays farmers for the carbon credits they generate from their sustainable land management practices. By operating as one team, Climate Neutral Group’s projects will now support Anthesis’ ambitions of removing 3GT of CO 2 e for its clients by 2030.

Commenting on the merger, Stuart McLachlan, Anthesis Group’s CEO said “2021 set a new pace for change, with organisations and communities recognising the urgency and importance of the decisive decade. With Climate Neutral Group joining Anthesis, we can support our clients more comprehensively along their Net Zero journey by building on emissions avoidance and reduction efforts to applying climate finance for mitigation. Our alignment as B Corps is a strong indicator of our shared values and focus and I look forward to welcoming the whole team to Anthesis.”

Climate Neutral Group’s Managing Director René Toet added “We’re proud to be joining Anthesis, a great team of dedicated sustainability professionals who share our mission to fight climate change as well as our values and commitment to the B Corp way of working. By joining Anthesis not only do we gain access to a global platform to present our Climate Neutral certification, project development and offsetting initiatives, but our clients benefit from the global Anthesis network and access to its industry leading experts. The size and ambition of the Group will create development opportunities for the Climate Neutral Group team and accelerate the impact of our work, something that is so urgently required in this decisive phase of the  climate emergency.”

Tristan Craddock, Impact Partner at Palatine commented “We’re delighted to see Anthesis Group continue its great start to 2022 with its second strategic M&A announcement of the year.  Climate Neutral Group adds complementary expertise in carbon offsetting and geographical reach to Anthesis’ capabilities to help it support the acceleration of the pace of change towards Net Zero at this critical time. Supporting Anthesis’ ability to deliver its mission by accelerating its reach in new markets and services through strategic and value-enhancing mergers is a key element in our post-investment plan we are working closely with Anthesis’ leadership team to identify further mergers to complement its impressive organic growth.”

United through their B Corp ambitions, the collective offering brings Anthesis Group to 800 sustainability specialists with offices in 20 countries, driving sustainable performance for more than 2,600 clients across the world. Recognised as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the UK and Europe, Anthesis’ ambitions for 2022 are to build on its position as the market leader in sustainable performance and attract the best talent to deliver meaningful impact with the world’s largest and most influential organisations globally.

This is the 15th merger and acquisition  for the Anthesis Group since it was established in 2013, and the second deal announced this year following the acquisition of Provision Coalition Inc. With this merger, DOEN Participaties, the largest impact investor in sustainable start-ups and scale-ups in the Netherlands, sells its shares to Anthesis. DOEN Participaties has been involved with Climate Neutral Group since 2002. Financial terms of the deal were not announced.

Anthesis Acquires Global ESG Advisory Firm Wallbrook

Anthesis , the sustainable performance activator and the largest group of dedicated sustainability professionals globally, has strengthened its response to the growing global regulatory and compliance environment with a strategic acquisition

The acquisition of Wallbrook , a leading global ESG advisory firm focused on anti-corruption, investigations and human rights, marks the fourth bolt-on since our investment in 2021.

This strategic deal is in response to the avalanche of new regulations, changes to the compliance landscape, and urgent requirements for organisations to commit to transitioning their operations to acting ethically and responsibly while minimising their ecological impact.

By merging Anthesis’ decade of ESG expertise, including unrivalled strength in environmental issues, with Wallbrook’s best in class approach to ethics and compliance, clients can have unwavering confidence in their ESG commitments and investments from an honest, accountable, and sustainable perspective.

With offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai and Zurich, Wallbrook was established in 2018 to help the world’s foremost organisations make ethical, compliant and informed decisions about their operations, acquisitions, disputes and partnerships.

Co-Managing Partner, Ian Barclay, will join the Anthesis Board and become part of Anthesis’s leadership team as part of the integration. Attracting high-integrity and mission-driven individuals, the 70-strong team includes Mariana Abreu, Wallbrook’s Head of ESG and Human Rights who is a human rights lawyer with Global Witness and Amnesty International and Wendy Wu, Wallbrook’s Head of Investigations and a former federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.

Aligning with Anthesis and Palatine’s shared culture to unite as B Corps, the Wallbrook team provide best practice counsel across anti-corruption M&A compliance, human rights impact assessments, ESG advisory, and internal and workplace culture investigations. From helping companies to avoid bribery in land acquisitions for sustainable infrastructure to modern slavery risks in the supply of minerals for green technology, Wallbrook identifies and addresses risks throughout the value chain.

In recognition of its transaction governance advisory, Wallbrook has received the Chambers Tier One Ranking for two consecutive years, one of only four leading crisis response and risk advisory professional services to be acknowledged.

As one of the largest independent and wholly employee-owned intelligence firms providing due diligence services, Wallbrook’s offerings strongly complement Anthesis’ ESG solutions for corporate businesses, private equity sponsors and other global asset management platforms, including Materiality assessments, ESG strategies and roadmaps, implementation and communications, and disclosing against legal requirements, including CDP, SASB, TCFD and GRI.

Commenting on the deal, Stuart McLachlan, Anthesis Group’s CEO, said: “An organisation’s governance directly correlates with how it views, and operates within, sustainable business models. All elements of ESG must be a priority, making our merger with Wallbrook an obvious and important addition to Anthesis. Together, we can support organisations to thrive in the face of complexity and disruption as we guide them into a more ethical and responsible existence through local intelligence on a global scale, expertise across all jurisdictions, and combined thinking across the complete ESG agenda. I look forward to working with the wider Wallbrook team and welcoming Ian to our leadership council and the Board.”

Wallbrook’s Co-Managing Partner, Ian Barclay, added,  “The combination of Anthesis and Wallbrook offers our clients access to a wide range of experts helping to solve key sustainability challenges in support of a circular economy, through effective ESG diligence and human rights impact assessments, supply and value chain analysis, policy development and reporting. I am particularly excited that our corporate clients and the wide array of investment platforms we serve will benefit from Anthesis’ depth in environmental consulting, as we continue to support them in the transition to net zero and navigate such a dynamic regulatory environment.”

Gary Tipper , Managing Partner at Palatine, commented, “Environmental, Social and Governance challenges are often inherently interlinked so broadening Anthesis’ capability in Governance will strengthen its ability to make a meaningful difference to its clients.  Helping our investments originate and complete strategic M&A is a core value enhancement focus for Palatine and so we are delighted to have done so here.”

Wallbrook is Anthesis’ 17th acquisition in 10 years, the collective offering brings Anthesis Group to 1,100 sustainability specialists with offices in 22 countries.

Recognised as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the UK and Europe, Anthesis’ ambitions for 2023 are to build on its position as the market leader in sustainable performance and attract the best talent to deliver meaningful impact with the world’s largest and most influential organisations globally.
