Ametalis lays the foundation for a Nordic sustainability expert group
Ametalis acquires sustainability expert Envima AB
Ametalis begins its journey to build a Nordic corporate group offering sustainability-focused software and services. The ambition is to create a group centered around small and medium-sized companies where sustainability is a core competency. These companies will contribute to and strengthen each other’s offerings. The journey begins with the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Envima, a sustainability expert based in Linköping, Sweden.
“The Nordics have a tremendously strong sustainability brand, largely built on entrepreneur-led small and medium-sized companies. We want to partner with these skilled entrepreneurs, allow them to retain operational control, preserve their unique cultures and entrepreneurial spirit, and welcome them as co-owners of the Ametalis Group. With a broad industrial network and a toolbox for company building, we aim to grow both the companies and the group together,”
– Kim Lehmusvuori, CEO and Co-founder of Ametalis
Envima is a sustainability consultancy with cutting-edge expertise in compliance, sustainability reporting, and management systems. The company has a strong history of profitability in a growing and less cyclical market segment, where growth is mainly driven by regulatory changes and increasing stakeholder focus on sustainability.
“We are pleased to partner with Envima AB. Envima is a well-managed company with a high level of competence and professionalism among its employees. We share values around sustainability and long-term development and are honored to have earned Anders Johansson’s trust in taking over ownership of Envima. We look forward to working with the organization, management, and board to continue developing both Envima and the Ametalis offering,”
– Kim Lehmusvuori, CEO and Co-founder of Ametalis
Envima’s management and board will continue in their existing roles following the transaction.
“The ownership change is a strategic choice to secure Envima’s continued development and safeguard the future for both clients and staff. I look forward to remaining actively engaged in the business,”
– Anders Johansson, majority owner of Envima since 2004
“Envima and Ametalis not only share a belief in a sustainable future but also values around business integrity and long-term thinking. This deal is a win-win for all parties, and I look forward to continuing the successful Envima journey, now in a new context,”
– Johanna Palmér, Chair of Envima since 2019
