AUSTIN, Texas — Jan. 30, 2026 — Clearyst Inc., a B2B sustainability software and advisory company, today announced its acquisition of JouleBug, a multi-stakeholder sustainability and CSR mobile engagement platform enabling companies to quickly deliver curated programming, gamified network activation, and key data insights. The addition of JouleBug to the Clearyst° family provides a solution that enhances their customers' ability to respond to stakeholder demands, capture important ecosystem data, and execute on sustainability imperatives in a personalized way.
As sustainability programs evolve beyond reporting and compliance, organizations need integrated solutions that drive stakeholder alignment, higher engagement, and lasting behavior change — an area where JouleBug meaningfully expands Clearyst’s capabilities. Together, Clearyst° and JouleBug deliver a unified operating system that blends proven program management automation, data intelligence, advisory expertise, and compliance solutions with mobile engagement, helping organizations activate their value chain to achieve measurable sustainability outcomes.
JouleBug is a sustainability engagement platform that uses gamification, challenges, program delivery, and impact tracking to motivate individuals and organizations to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors at work and in their daily lives. JouleBug’s mission is to make sustainability simple, social, and rewarding.
Clearyst° provides sustainability software, data intelligence, and advisory services across a multitude of industries and organizations to improve performance, ensure compliance, and accelerate sustainability impact. Clearyst’s combination of technology, data, and expertise solve complex environmental and operational challenges for companies around the world. Clearyst° continues to scale its platform through strategic acquisitions and integrated solutions that address sustainability holistically - across data, strategy, and engagement.
The acquisition of JouleBug reflects Clearyst’s belief that sustainability success depends not only on data, reporting, and compliance—but on people. While Clearyst° provides the systems, intelligence, and advisory expertise organizations need to design and manage sustainability programs, JouleBug brings the engagement layer that turns those programs into trackable lived experiences.
Together, the two companies close a critical gap in the sustainability ecosystem: connecting enterprise-level strategy and regulatory requirements with the daily actions of businesses, their employees, and consumers. This integration enables organizations to move from static sustainability plans to dynamic, gamified programs that drive real behavior change and measure actionable impact.
“We are thrilled to welcome JouleBug and its sustainability mobile engagement solution into the Clearyst° platform. This acquisition strengthens our ability to provide organizations innovative ways to more effectively activate stakeholders and drive measurable sustainability outcomes,” said Paul Ghiz, Co-CEO of Clearyst°. “Our customers will benefit from improved operational efficiency, participation, and results related to sustainability program execution and tracking.”
