Carbon Clear, a major player in the UK environmental sustainability marketplace, has been sold to EcoAct Group, the climate expert and climate finance project developer headquartered in Paris. Fusion Corporate Partners acted as corporate advisor for Carbon Clear. The Fusion team was led by Paul Kelly, Director at Fusion. The terms of the deals were not disclosed.
The joining of the two companies will help businesses better manage their approach to climate change and sustainability by creating an international entity with expanded operations in Europe, North America and Africa.
EcoAct works with international clients to meet the demands of the Paris Climate Change Agreement, offering solutions to companies’ sustainability challenges. With the acquisition of Carbon Clear, new service offerings will be available across the global sustainability market including: assessing climate change risks and opportunities; strategic planning and target setting; managing and reducing energy and carbon emissions and; working with climate finance projects.
Combining forces is a natural fit for both EcoAct and Carbon Clear due to their shared corporate values. Both companies were formed over a decade ago to address dangerous climate change and both teams remain dedicated to this goal for the Group going forward.
Mark Chadwick, Chief Executive of Carbon Clear commented: “Our new Group has the technical expertise, commercial knowledge and client-friendly approach that we believe is unparalleled in the market. The combined strengths of EcoAct and Carbon Clear mean we are a leading sustainability consultancy that has the resources and capabilities to do more for our clients through our new service offerings and broader geographic reach. Our committed and talented staff will use their complementary skills to continue to do the very best work from our offices around the globe.”
Paul Kelly, Director at Fusion Corporate Partners said: “It has been a pleasure working with Mark and the other shareholders at Carbon Clear. They are a great team and the fit with EcoAct is excellent. The combining of the two businesses creates a leading sustainability consultancy with a broader geographic reach. I wish them every success”
The Group will now be managed at an Executive Committee Level by: Thierry Fornas and Gérald Maradan, the founders of EcoAct; Mark Chadwick, the founder of Carbon Clear, and Sylvianne Villaudière, founder of CSR consultancy Alliantis, a company that joined the EcoAct Group in February 2017.
