ESGL Acquisition Corp is a special purpose acquisition company formed to pursue a business combination with one or more companies operating in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) space. Incorporated in Delaware in early 2021, the firm completed its initial public offering later that year and began trading on the Nasdaq under the ticker ESGL. Its purpose is to leverage public market capital to identify and partner with growth-stage businesses that have established ESG credentials and scalable business models.
The leadership team combines deep investment banking, private equity and clean-technology expertise. John A. Thompson serves as chairman and chief executive officer, bringing over 25 years of corporate finance experience in renewable energy and infrastructure transactions. He is supported by chief financial officer Emily L. Reid, formerly a director at a global asset manager, and a board of advisors that includes industry veterans from energy, sustainable agriculture and ESG data analytics firms.
ESGL targets acquisition candidates across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Its focus areas include renewable power generation, energy storage, electric mobility, waste-to-energy and ESG software solutions. Through ongoing outreach and partnerships with technology incubators, research institutions and strategic investors, ESGL seeks to originate proprietary deal flow and structure transactions that align financial returns with measurable sustainability outcomes.
Headquartered in New York City with additional offices in San Francisco and London, ESGL emphasizes robust corporate governance and transparent reporting from the outset. The company’s sponsor group draws on global networks to support target companies post-combination, aiming to foster long-term growth by integrating ESG best practices into corporate strategy, operations and stakeholder engagement.
