Announcing a new chapter for Planet Mark

After a tremendous decade of action, we’re now embarking upon the next ten years with everything we need to drive impact at scale.

We are proud to announce Planet Mark will become the newest organisation to join the Alcumus family, forging a powerful alliance to accelerate positive change.

Alcumus is an international organisation, headquartered in Wales and owned by the APAX Group. Alcumus provides organisations of all sizes an integrated approach to managing Health, Safety and ESG across industries, locations, contractor and supplier networks.

We wanted to find a partner to help us achieve our mission and ambitious growth plans while also protecting what is truly special about Planet Mark – our people, our culture, and our purpose.

The partnership is centred around our shared values and vision of a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow to help all organisations achieve their sustainability ambitions. With their international presence and established history of helping businesses thrive, the possibilities are endless.

For ten years, we have been working with our members to enable meaningful change, creating a more sustainable and equitable world. With Alcumus’ experience, resource and technology, we’ll be able to significantly expand our offering at a key stage in our growth journey.

Both Planet Mark and Alcumus are built on a common purpose and values, servicing similar parts of the economy. As the partnership evolves, ongoing integration will reveal complementary offerings that will enhance the experience for our existing members and create new avenues to scale our impact.

Steve Malkin, our visionary CEO and Founder of Planet Mark, commented:

“As we reach our 10-year milestone, it gives the team and me great confidence knowing we’re joining forces with such a dynamic company as Alcumus. We have a shared vision to create a better future and drive impactful change. With their international presence and established history of helping businesses thrive, this venture provides access to their vast resources, technology, and expertise, creating unique opportunities and renewed focus to drive growth and innovation in our industry. The possibilities are endless – we’re expecting big things as we enter our second decade.”

Alyn Franklin, CEO at Alcumus, added:

“Alcumus is committed to measuring what matters, inspiring change, and making the world a safer and more sustainable place for all. The acquisition of Planet Mark is the latest part of our journey. This acquisition not only propels our growth ambitions but also adds tremendous value to our UK customer base, and represents a monumental stride towards a brighter and prosperous future.”

Our sustainability expertise is set to become an integral part of Alcumus’ comprehensive portfolio, offering clients a holistic range of compliance, risk management, and sustainability solutions, including net zero. This partnership will amplify our shared impact to drive transformation and sustainability across the businesses we serve.

Here’s to new beginnings and a brighter future.
