Our client, a market-leading global IT services and consulting firm, wished to expand its capabilities in Europe in sustainability and decarbonisation consulting. Interest was beginning to increase among potentially competing bidders for these assets so they needed to move fast with the best fit targets. Artemis carried out two separate scans into European and US assets meeting key criteria, including a comprehensive report on potentially carve-outs among the Global 2000 to support acceleration of this agenda.

• Emerging sector (relatively) meant fewer ‘obvious’ assets of scale and maturity Disparities between US and European stages of development in the industry.
• Very large number of sustainability offerings among the Global 2000 with limited reach to assess carve-out opportunity.

• Transparent and comprehensive view of this highly promising but information-scarce sector across Europe and the US.
• Deep focus on potential carve-out opportunities.
• 3 successfully completed mid-scale acquisitions.
