Cority Software Inc. (Cority), an environmental health and safety (EHS) provider, has acquired WeSustain, a developer of software solutions designed to support the intersection of ESG with digitization. WeSustain’s GRI-certified SaaS solutions span across ESG, sustainability, compliance, and impact management – enabling integrated ESG and corporate sustainability management across the enterprise from a central platform, the company said.
“Joining forces with Cority instantly advances our aim of making businesses more sustainable and future-proof in Europe and around the world,” said Dr. Manfred Heil, CEO, WeSustain. “We’re convinced that smart digital solutions have an essential role to play in enabling our clients to fulfill their potential for greater efficiency, innovation, and positive impact; and to build trust through greater transparency surrounding what they do.”
Organizations are increasingly focused on digitizing their management of ESG, often as part of a wider digital transformation of EHS processes and programs. According to McKinsey & Company, evidence is emerging that a better ESG score translates to about a 10% lower cost of capital, as the risks that affect the business are reduced.
“We are delighted to add the outstanding solutions and top talent of WeSustain to the Cority family,” said Mark Wallace, President and CEO at Cority. “WeSustain’s solutions are an obvious complement to our CorityOne platform. The combination strengthens our European presence and positions Cority for the rapidly emerging strategic impact of ESG factors in every major enterprise around the world.”
