Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (“Montrose”) (NYSE: MEG) today announced the acquisition of Huco Consulting, Inc. (“Huco”), a leading consultant specializing in the implementation of environment, health and safety (EHS) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) systems and software for industrial, commercial and government clients. Huco’s leadership team, including co-founders Ron Huijsman and Sameer Vyas, will join Montrose’s Advisory and Specialty Services business, led by Senior Vice President Mark Hall. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Founded in 2008, Huco is a team of EHS & ESG data management system consultants based in North America. Going beyond software, Huco supports clients from a variety of industries with the content, work processes, integrations, outputs, reporting and change management processes needed to sustain an information management system, enabling them to better monitor their environmental impacts, including carbon footprint, improve employee safety, and decrease compliance risk while reducing costs, improving efficiency and creating value.

“As environmental reporting needs increase for companies, the demand for systematic compliance and data aggregation is growing fast,” said Mark Hall, Senior Vice President of Advisory and Specialty Services. “With the addition of the experienced Huco team, we enhance our data offerings, expanding support for the compliance and ESG/Sustainability needs of our clients as we continue to pioneer real-time environmental monitoring and consolidated reporting. We welcome the Huco team and are excited to join talents with one of the top consulting firms for integrating EHS & ESG data.”

Huco’s co-founders Ron Huijsman and Sameer Vyas added: “We are thrilled to be joining Montrose, as our consulting businesses are highly complementary and we work with many of the same clients today. Our passion is creating and sustaining data management systems that not only manage compliance, risk and sustainability, but also create value for our clients’ organization, customers, people and other stakeholders. As part of the larger Montrose platform, we will be able to reach many more clients with our partners and do so with an organization that is fully committed to supporting our development, people and client solutions. We are excited to hit the ground running together in 2023.”
