The principals and scientific team of Aster Global Environmental Solutions, Inc., began serving the industry in 2005 as the Forestry Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Services Division of Environmental Services, Inc. (ESI). In May of 2019 the Principal employees of ESI’s Forestry Carbon and Greenhouse Gas Services division Janice and Shawn McMahon purchased the division and began operations as Aster Global Environmental Solutions, Inc. In January 2025, Aster Global was strategically acquired by SGS North America, Inc. The transition has been carefully planned to maintain the high levels of service to which our clients are accustomed, while expanding access to global resources. The owners, Janice and Shawn McMahon, their entire team, and the legal entity Aster Global Environmental Solutions, Inc. have been retained and will continue to operate—business as usual.
It has been our pleasure to serve you as consultants, validators and verifiers on your greenhouse gas emissions, offset, and removal projects around the world. Aster Global’s Lead team has over 200 years of combined experience spanning six (6) continents. We have worked on projects large and small with customers of all experience levels in our industry and we look forward to working with you.
