SWCA Environmental Consultants, based in Phoenix, Arizona, has acquired international management consulting firm ALO Advisors LLC, according to a press release.

"This is truly a watershed moment for SWCA. By combining the strengths of SWCA and ALO Advisors, we have an incredible opportunity to drive greater positive environmental and social impact around the world," Joseph J. Fluder, III, CEO and president of SWCA, said. "Together, we will provide end-to-end, full lifecycle support to our clients from strategy to science to implementation."

The Phoenix-based environmental consulting firm offers sustainability advisory services to clients across various industries on a global scale to “bring proven expertise in sustainability and management consulting worldwide.”

ALO Advisors specializes in strategies to execute strong business sustainability efforts, initiatives and investments “that simultaneously create business value and positive environmental and social impacts.”

Made up of 20 employees, ALO Advisors' team is based in the United States, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden. The group counts with the additional support of a network of affiliates in more than 50 countries.

ALO Advisors offers sustainability solutions to business leaders specializing in food, beverage and consumer products. Its catalog of clients also includes businesses in private equity, insurance, technology, medical device and other industries.

"In SWCA, we found an organization that shares our vision for helping clients make real, positive impact. By coming together, we will do this on a larger scale than we could have imagined," said John R. Platko, II, managing partner at ALO Advisors.

Established in 2018, the management consulting firm has established an operational presence in Europe, the United States and Mexico. 

“We think about sustainability leadership differently, believing that when the economics work, the environmental and social benefits will last,” a recent press release stated.  “This fundamental concept is central to our work and is the essence behind ALO's philosophy of Sustain Differently.”
