Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has acquired Carbon Intelligence, a London, UK-based carbon and climate change strategy consultancy.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed. The acquisition will add more than 160 professionals to its group of data scientists, consultants and sustainability experts.
Led by Jonathan Sykes, CEO, Carbon Intelligence is focused on helping global businesses understand their overall carbon footprints, and ways to reduce them, using Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) strategies that lead to transformational rethinking of clients’ business models and value chains. The firm has helped numerous multinational companies set science-based decarbonisation targets and develop measurable strategies to achieve them, working closely with the SBTi. Carbon Intelligence is a key accredited partner to CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) and regularly recognised for its high standard of work in helping clients measure and manage their emissions.
This is Accenture’s fifth sustainability-focused acquisition in the last year, following Greenfish in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, akzente in Germany, Avieco in the UK and Zestgroup in the Netherlands.
