OFFERING IN RESPONSE TO THE SHIFTING REGULATORY LANDSCAPE

June 6, 2023 | News,


Combined offering provides market-leading expertise across all ESG factors and
the cohesion required to tackle regulations such as CSRD United as B Corps;
aligning purpose with profit Expands Anthesis further into the US, Europe and
Asia with the addition of offices in Los Angeles, Hong Kong, New York, Singapore
and Zurich

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Anthesis, the sustainable performance activator and the largest group of
dedicated sustainability professionals globally, announces a merger with
Wallbrook, a leading global ESG advisory firm focused on anti-corruption,
investigations & resolving disputes, business ethics and human rights.

This strategic deal reflects a shifting regulatory landscape and growing
stakeholder expectations for investors and companies to help build a more
sustainable future. Merging Anthesis’ decade of experience guiding clients on
their sustainability transition across environmental and social issues with
Wallbrook’s cultural, linguistic and thematic expertise across business ethics,
compliance and human rights will enable clients to cohesively address the E, S
and G aspects of their business models. All delivered through one team with the
aim of helping clients succeed in the economy of the future.

 

 

With offices in London, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai and
Zurich, Wallbrook was established in 2018 to support the world’s foremost
organisations to be responsible stakeholders in their global activities,
providing on-the-ground intelligence to help them respect human rights, combat
corruption, trace and recover assets and benefit society.

Wallbrook’s Co-Managing Partner, Ian Barclay, will join the Anthesis Board and
become part of Anthesis’ leadership team as part of the integration. Attracting
high-integrity and mission-driven individuals, the 70-strong team includes
Mariana Abreu, Wallbrook’s Head of Human Rights, who is a human rights lawyer
formerly with Global Witness, Amnesty International and the United Nations; and
Wendy Wu, Wallbrook’s Head of Investigations and a former federal prosecutor in
the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California. Wallbrook
will continue to be led by Managing Partner and CEO James Hunt.

Proud to unite with Anthesis as B Corps approaching business as a force for
good, the Wallbrook team provides best practice advisory across anti-corruption
M&A compliance, business ethics, human rights impact assessments, ESG advisory,
internal and workplace culture investigations, and resolving disputes.
Wallbrook’s core anti-corruption offering has received the Chambers Tier One
Ranking for two consecutive years, one of only four global risk advisory firms
to do so.

“An organisation’s governance directly correlates with how it views, and
operates within, sustainable business models. All elements of ESG must be a
priority, making our merger with Wallbrook an obvious and important addition to
Anthesis. Together, we can support organisations to thrive in the face of
complexity and disruption as we guide them into a more ethical and responsible
existence through local intelligence on a global scale, expertise across all
jurisdictions, and combined thinking across the complete ESG agenda. I look
forward to working with the wider Wallbrook team and welcoming Ian to our
leadership council and the Board.”

Stuart McLachlan
CEO, Anthesis Group



As one of the leading providers of ESG advisory and integrity due diligence
services, Wallbrook’s offerings strongly complement Anthesis’ established
expertise in ESG solutions for corporate businesses, private equity sponsors and
other global asset managers across strategy development, transaction due
diligence, portfolio engagement and reporting.

Wallbrook’s Co-Managing Partner, Ian Barclay, added,  “The combination of
Anthesis and Wallbrook offers our clients access to a wide range of experts
helping to solve key sustainability challenges in support of a circular economy,
through effective ESG diligence and human rights impact assessments, supply and
value chain analysis, policy development and reporting. I am particularly
excited that our corporate clients and the wide array of investment platforms we
serve will benefit from Anthesis’ depth in environmental consulting, as we
continue to support them in the transition to net zero and navigate such a
dynamic regulatory environment.”

Gary Tipper, Managing Partner at Palatine, commented, “Environmental, Social and
Governance challenges are often inherently interlinked so broadening Anthesis’
capability in Governance will strengthen its ability to make a meaningful
difference to its clients.  Helping our investments originate and complete
strategic M&A is a core value enhancement focus for Palatine and so we are
delighted to have done so here.”

Anthesis’ 17th acquisition in 10 years, the collective offering brings Anthesis
Group to more than 1,100 sustainability specialists with offices in 22
countries. Recognised as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the UK
and Europe, Anthesis’ ambitions for 2023 are to build on its position as the
market leader in sustainable performance and attract the best talent to deliver
meaningful impact with the world’s largest and most influential organisations
globally.
