BOSTON—Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the leading global strategy consulting firm, has announced an agreement to acquire Quantis, a pioneering environmental sustainability consulting firm that guides many of the world’s largest organizations in their sustainability transformation. The parties expect the acquisition to be completed later this month.
Founded in 2006, Quantis has since grown to more than 250 environmental experts and transformation specialists primarily based in Europe and the US. The global consulting firm has a proven track record of implementing a systems-level science-based approach to accelerate sustainable business transformation to operate within planetary boundaries1. Quantis is recognized for driving innovative solutions to critical and diverse environmental challenges, from climate change and biodiversity loss to water scarcity, deforestation and plastic pollution. Quantis will operate as an independent business unit within BCG and will retain its brand and management team.
“Bringing Quantis and BCG together is an exciting step in strengthening our ability to help clients protect our planet and transform sustainably,” said Christoph Schweizer, BCG CEO. “Many of the CEOs I speak with want to act, but are looking for the kind of deep expertise our Quantis team offers to solve their complex problems. I’m proud to welcome this talented and passionate team to BCG. “
“Combining BCG’s extensive industry knowledge and transformation capabilities with Quantis’ deep scientific expertise and solid sustainability reputation will create an unstoppable force to drive the shift from business as usual to business at its best,” said Dimitri Caudrelier, Quantis CEO. “The stakes for our planet have never been higher. This agreement will enable us to take a critical leap towards achieving our vision for a new planetary economy. I am also excited about the opportunities it will create for Quantisians to raise their level of influence and grow professionally. Joining with BCG will enable us to accelerate the science-driven sustainable transformation that Quantis has been steadfastly committed to since our inception.”
“In the face of ever-pressing environmental challenges, we continue to invest boldly in our climate and sustainability leadership,” Schweizer said. “In addition to strengthening BCG with the acquisition of Quantis, we plan to recruit thousands more climate and sustainability experts over the coming years and continue to expand our network of partners.”
BCG was recently announced as the exclusive consulting partner for COP27 to be held in Egypt in November, providing analytical capabilities and industry insights from its extensive experience helping companies, governments and multilateral organizations accelerate their climate and sustainability journey. BCG’s support for COP27 complements its long-standing support for the global climate agenda through partnerships with the World Economic Forum, UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, successive COP Presidencies, SBTi (Science Based Targets Initiative), CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), Breakthrough Energy Catalyst and First Movers Coalition.
