AUSTIN, Texas — Clearyst Inc., a B2B sustainability software and advisory company, today announced its acquisition of JouleBug, a mobile sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement platform. The acquisition strengthens Clearyst’s ability to help organizations activate stakeholders, capture ecosystem data, and execute sustainability initiatives in more personalized, measurable ways.
As sustainability programs evolve beyond reporting and compliance, organizations need solutions that drive alignment, participation, and lasting behavior change. JouleBug expands Clearyst’s platform with mobile engagement, gamified programming, and impact tracking that translate enterprise sustainability strategies into everyday actions.
Together, Clearyst° and JouleBug deliver a unified sustainability operating system combining program management automation, data intelligence, advisory expertise, and compliance solutions with mobile engagement. This integrated approach helps organizations move from static sustainability plans to dynamic programs that drive measurable outcomes across employees, customers, suppliers, and communities.
JouleBug’s platform uses challenges, incentives, curated programming, and real-time insights to motivate environmentally responsible behaviors at work and in daily life, making sustainability simple, social, and rewarding.
Clearyst° provides sustainability software, data intelligence, and advisory services across industries, helping organizations improve performance, ensure compliance, and accelerate impact. The company continues to scale through strategic acquisitions and integrated solutions that address sustainability holistically — across data, strategy, and engagement.
“The acquisition of JouleBug reflects our belief that sustainability success depends not only on data and compliance, but on people,” said Paul Ghiz, Co-CEO of Clearyst°. “JouleBug brings the engagement layer that turns sustainability programs into lived, trackable experiences while helping organizations drive real results.”
The combined offering enables end-to-end sustainability execution — from goal setting and compliance to engagement and impact tracking. Organizations gain stronger participation through gamified challenges aligned with enterprise goals, visibility into how individual actions contribute to carbon, water, and waste targets, and scalable programs deployable across global workforces and supply chains. Implementation is supported by Clearyst°’s advisory expertise.
“We are really proud of the work we’ve done on JouleBug with the collective team over the years. This transition allows JouleBug to become a key pillar in a complete sustainability platform at Clearyst°. It’s an exciting moment that creates an incredible opportunity for our partners to have a comprehensive sustainability provider,” said Anthony Pease, CEO of Carimus*.
Looking ahead, Clearyst° and JouleBug aim to help organizations meet climate, compliance, and social responsibility goals by engaging people as active participants in a more sustainable future.
