MORGAN Stanley’s private equity arm that focuses on middle-market companies said on Wednesday (Feb 1) it had acquired environmental services and consulting firm Apex Companies.
Morgan Stanley Capital Partners said the current owner of Apex, Sentinel Capital Partners, will retain a minority stake in the company after the deal closes.
Rockville, Maryland-based Apex offers water infrastructure and environmental, social and governance (ESG) consulting and other services.
Wall Street has sharpened its focus on ESG segment following investor pressure to cut financing to sectors that contribute to fossil-fuel use.
In 2021, JPMorgan Chase acquired investment manager focused on timberland Campbell Global, while Morgan Stanley Capital Partners bought a controlling stake in air-quality testing and monitoring solutions firm Alliance Technical Group. REUTERS
