Apave, a leading global player in risk management, certification, and testing, continues its expansion with the successful acquisition of Aktio—a fast-growing, innovative French SaaS platform dedicated to empowering low-carbon. With over 16,500 employees worldwide and projected annual revenue exceeding $1.3 billion in 2024, Apave meaningfully reinforces its commitment to sustainability and climate solutions.
Aktio's founders entrusted Stockalper to design and execute a global strategic process to identify the ideal partner—one that would amplify Aktio’s impact and accelerate its mission.
Through this acquisition, Aktio becomes Apave Group's reference entity for sustainability, seamlessly integrating its expertise with Apave’s Climate and Sustainability division. This move aligns with Apave’s growth strategy, expanding its capabilities in carbon accounting and decarbonization pathways to better support businesses in addressing urgent climate challenges.
Stockalper is proud to have guided Aktio on this transformative journey. With Apave’s backing, Aktio’s innovative SaaS solutions are now poised to scale at an unprecedented pace—driving the transition toward a more sustainable planetary economy.
Stockalper executed a highly strategic and well-structured process, aligning perfectly with the scale of our vision. Their unmatched expertise in international sustainability M&A enabled us to engage with top-tier corporations, attract highly competitive offers, and envision a large array of development scenarios for our firm.
I would highly recommend them to any organization as a reliable partner to navigate complex, high-stakes sustainability transactions
