London – Alantra, the independent global mid-market financial services firm, has advised the Apax Global Impact Fund on the acquisition of a controlling stake in Integrated Environmental Solutions (“IES” or “the Company”).
IES is a global climate tech company delivering innovative software solutions and consultancy services to help decarbonise buildings and the built environment. Supporting resource-efficient and cost-effective built-environments, IES simulates and analyses data, including through unique digital twin software, to give those involved in the design, retrofit and operation of buildings the information needed to make smarter, more sustainable decisions in order to tackle the built environment’s climate footprint, adhere to regulatory and voluntary compliance, and ultimately reduce lifetime building energy costs and carbon emissions.
Advising Apax extends Alantra’s record of supporting businesses in the ESG sector, and specifically where it relates to sustainability and commercial real estate. Recent deals have included advising Bridges Fund Management on its investment in Evora Global and advising EnerKey on its sale to EG. The importance of ESG, and the ability to monitor and manage performance data, will continue to drive significant interest from financial investors.
Oliver Parker, Managing Director in Alantra’s Global Technology Team, said, “IES is the leading global innovator in integrated performance-based building analysis and is playing a crucial role in helping clients to achieve their ambitious decarbonisation agendas. In Apax Global Impact, the Company has found the perfect partner with strong alignment given their thematic focus on reducing environmental harm and resource use.It was a pleasure working with the Apax team and we look forward to seeing how they can help IES reach its potential.”
