Apex Group has merged its ESG business with MJ Hudson’s to launch sustainability services brand Holtara. This follows the acquisition of MJ Hudson by the group in 2023.
The team will be under the leadership of Holtara managing director and Apex head of ESG product, Emma Bickerstaffe. Bickerstaffe will report to Apex’s chief product and technology officer, Chris Mulhern.
Holtara’s ESG Advantage platform has been designed to streamline clients’ ESG reporting and allow them to comply with global regulatory requirements.
Speaking on the formation of Holtara, Bickerstaffe says: “The outcomes of COP28 only serve to further reinforce the need for every business to be part of the change, and our priority is to help private market managers and their investors recognise and embrace their role in building a sustainable economy.”
Peter Hughes, founder and CEO of Apex, adds: “This is an important milestone in our ESG journey as a group. Holtara enables us to empower the private markets to achieve their financial goals while making a positive impact on the world around them.”
