Significant capital inflows are being
allocated to the environmental sector.
The environmental industry report features an in-depth
examination of the key drivers that are leading to the
prioritization of sustainability, the role technology is playing to
help companies achieve their sustainability-focused initiatives,
and how select waste-to-value solutions are accelerating the
transition toward a more circular economy. BGL gathered
insights from executives leading sustainability-related initiatives
at WM, GFL Environmental, VLS Environmental Solutions, and The
Amlon Group.
Key takeaways include:
- Why companies view sustainability practices as a value-creation
opportunity and key growth lever
- How technology is revolutionizing the waste and environmental
sector's adoption of sustainability-based practices
- The factors behind waste-to-value becoming an emerging area of
opportunity
- The notable M&A transactions and the driving forces behind
a shift in environmental services investing to sustainable yet
pragmatic solutions
Significant capital inflows are being allocated to the
environmental sector, resulting in a high level of platform
formation and add-on acquisition activity. The relative stability
of the waste and environmental sector has long attracted investor
activity because of its essential nature and traditionally strong
growth profile. Companies delivering sustainability-oriented
solutions will continue to command outsized investor interest, as
these businesses take advantage of favorable regulatory and
consumer-driven tailwinds.

the North American market in transaction volume for more than a
