Professional services firm Deloitte has acquired carbon consultancy dcarbon8 for an undisclosed sum.

London-based dcarbon8 advises businesses on reducing carbon emissions by promoting environmental practices as well as sourcing green suppliers. As part of the deal, founder of the business Guy Battle will become a partner at Deloitte.

John Connolly, CEO and senior partner at Deloitte, says: ‘dcarbon8 is a leading innovator in carbon and sustainability consulting and already advises a number of blue chip clients.’

The deal comes after Deloitte made two acquisitions in January, which were property advisory specialist Drivers Jonas and ReportSource, a provider of business management information.
