We need innovative, task-focused companies that are looking for solutions like rainwater harvesting, and renewable natural gas; companies looking for water and wastewater, recycling, and reuse opportunities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">Ecohesion brings unique expertise and perspective that we can also export into our broader offering in <span class=\"xn-location\">North America<\/span>. In the process, we will create opportunities for Ecohesion staff to help us support those projects internationally as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\"><span class=\"xn-location\">Canada<\/span> and the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> have benefitted from a special relationship. The <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> is a vital place to tackle some of the most significant challenges globally, and what we are looking at here is a combined team that enables us to do it with passion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-person\">Andre Quesnel<\/span>, Ecohesion&#8217;s Director, <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> operations, and business development, said that the company has grown from four people when it started in 2013 to more than 25 before the acquisition by Integrated Sustainability, and now the focus was now on further expansion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">&#8220;The future is really exciting.

When a project requires the combination of both design and operation of a treatment facility, we naturally focus on the design quality and efficiency, reducing costs and increasing longevity for our clients. Everyone wins from this type of holistic approach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ecohesion&#8217;s customers and the broader <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> market now benefit from world-leading expertise in a broad range of specialisms, ranging from desalination to biogas and industrial water management. <span class=\"xn-location\">St-George&#8217;s<\/span> goes on to explain:<\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">&#8220;Ecohesion&#8217;s <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> clients will now benefit from a larger variety of services offered by our combined companies. Together, we offer additional services including ESG compliance reporting, data management services, and regulatory expertise; as well as the necessary financial capacity to tackle exciting large-scale projects.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prnml40\">I&#8217;ve known Sam and the [Ecohesion] team personally for over 7 years now, having worked together collaboratively on several projects, and I am extremely excited that we are now one team.
