SLR, which is headquartered in Buckinghamshire, UK, has more than 2,300 staffers in more than 100 offices in the US, Canada, Europe, and the Asia Pacific regions.

Charterhouse took a majority stake in SLR in 2019. It bankrolled an acquisition drive of 15 companies, including Corporate Citizenship and Vectos.
Neil Penhall, SLR CEO, credits Charterhouse for an ambitious expansion plan that positioned SLR to capitalize on the growing demand for a wide range of ESG and sustainability services.
Stephane Etroy, Ares partner, said, “the heightened focus on sustainability and the secular trends supporting the acceleration of climate transition will continue to provide strong growth opportunities for SLR.”
