Menzies LLP has acquired Grain Sustainability for an undisclosed amount. The transaction marks a strategic expansion for Menzies, bringing specialized expertise into its service portfolio. Grain Sustainability, founded in 2002, is a Certified B Corporation dedicated to helping businesses champion people and the planet, leveraging business as a force for positive impact.
Grain provides a comprehensive suite of sustainability services, including corporate sustainability strategy development, materiality assessments, supply chain sustainability services, B Corp certification support, and SBTi net zero consultation. The company also offers carbon footprint consulting, PPN 06/21 compliance, ESG reporting services, Carbon Literacy training, and sustainability communications. Reflecting its commitment to environmental and social responsibility, Grain has been a member of 1% for the Planet since 2008, donating a percentage of its revenue to environmental nonprofits.
This acquisition is expected to allow Menzies LLP to enhance its client offerings by integrating advanced sustainability expertise. With increasing regulatory requirements and stakeholder demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, the addition of Grain Sustainability positions Menzies to support clients in achieving their sustainability objectives and gaining competitive advantage. The move addresses a critical market need for integrated advisory services that span traditional business functions and sustainability.
Expected synergies include the ability for Menzies' existing client base to access Grain's specialized sustainability tools and implementation support. Conversely, Grain Sustainability will benefit from Menzies' broader platform and reach, enabling its impact-focused services to be deployed across a wider range of businesses. This integration aims to create a more holistic advisory service, helping companies navigate complex sustainability challenges and create measurable positive outcomes.
The combined entity is poised to offer robust, integrated advisory services, strengthening its position in the professional services market and furthering the adoption of sustainable business practices across industries.
