sustain:able Press Release - sustain:able acquires Acasta

We are pleased to announce that ESG consultancy firm Acasta has been acquired by ESG consultancy sustain:able, for an undisclosed sum.

Acasta offered a holistic approach to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) integration to businesses, across multiple sectors. The approach recognised that a fully-integrated ESG strategy can help clients to mitigate risk posed by ESG concerns, and create opportunities for growth whilst preparing companies for future challenges in achieving a sustainable future.

All existing relationships and assignments of Acasta will be absorbed into the sustain:able business.

Commenting on the acquisition, Acasta founder Jon Fitzpatrick said: “ESG is increasing in importance on a daily basis, and by combining the best of Acasta with the skills and expertise of the sustain:able team, we are building some serious firepower in this competitive space. We wish sustain:able every success with their enhanced footprint and client portfolio – I am sure they will go from strength to strength.”

sustain:able founder Dr Rachel Gavey added: “We’ve enjoyed a long period of collaboration and friendly rivalry with the Acasta team and, at this stage in our development, it felt like the right time to combine forces and target a greater market share, recognising the obvious synergies and crossovers of the two businesses.”
