LRN announced it has acquired GreenOrder, a “green” strategy and management consulting firm. Together, the companies hope to provide businesses with new solutions that inspire principled performance.
LRN provides education and communication offerings, assessments, analytics and resources; and advisory services to help companies create cultures of sustainability.
“GreenOrder and LRN have traveled very similar paths, successfully helping leading organizations produce not just performance, but principled performance,” said Dov Seidman, CEO and chairman of LRN. “There is significance in the fact that we are uniting at a time when businesses are both becoming more humanized and, with the economic crisis, more scrutinized.”
Founded in 2000, GreenOrder has advised some of the world’s leading companies on how they can turn energy and environmental innovation into greater business value. Called “the go-to consulting company for green business” by Fortune, GreenOrder is known for advising General Electric on the creation and implementation of the “ecomagination” initiative and has also been an advisor to senior management at BP, DuPont, General Motors, JPMorgan Chase, Pfizer and Polo Ralph Lauren.
GreenOrder will continue to operate its consulting business as an LRN Company.
“The powerful combination of LRN and GreenOrder will greatly enhance our ability to help companies move from developing sustainability strategies to implementing them in ways that pay off,” said Andrew L. Shapiro, GreenOrder’s founder and president. “To make environmental innovation work, companies need tools and resources to make green part of their DNA on an ongoing basis.”
