Stockalper Partners is proud to have advised PRé Sustainability, the global pioneer in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) software, on its strategic combination with One Click LCA — a leading decarbonization software provider. This transaction marks a defining moment in the evolution of sustainability analytics, creating a new global force in environmental intelligence.
PRé Sustainability, founded over 30 years ago, has long been recognized as the backbone of scientific environmental footprinting, supporting experts, corporations, governments, and academia with robust, transparent LCA solutions. As the company looked to accelerate its transition into the enterprise software space, Stockalper Partners was mandated to identify a partner that would not only offer scale and technological depth, but also a genuine alignment with PRé’s culture, mission-driven ethos, and strong values.
Throughout a competitive global process, it became increasingly clear that the most compelling path to global leadership would emerge by uniting two complementary leaders: a depth specialist like PRé, with its unparalleled scientific and domain credibility, and a tech-forward scale-up like One Click LCA, known for its agile product innovation and ambitious global reach.
The transaction is built on strong mutual respect, shared vision, and a commitment to enabling the world’s organizations to act faster and more effectively on sustainability. The combined platform now offers unmatched coverage across footprinting, carbon, and broader ESG analytics — empowering stakeholders across industries to drive credible net zero strategies. We are deeply grateful to the teams at PRé, One Click LCA, and PSG Equity for the exceptional collaboration, and honored to have played a part in shaping a combination that promises to redefine the landscape of sustainability software.Stockalper brought a rare combination of strategic insight, deep expertise in the LCA and carbon software landscape, and sharp execution.
PRé is a uniquely complex company — with a rich legacy, high technical depth, and strong values — and finding the right fit was no easy task. Yet Stockalper was relentless in driving a process that never compromised on quality or alignment.
Their understanding of our mission and positioning enabled us to find not just a buyer, but a partner with whom we can scale our impact. Their negotiation skills, clarity of thought, and human approach made them invaluable throughout this transformative journey
