Diginex Limited has completed its acquisition of PlanA.earth GmbH, a European carbon accounting and decarbonization platform, in a transaction valued at approximately €55 million. The deal combines Diginex's existing environmental, social, and governance reporting capabilities with Plan A's artificial intelligence-driven emissions tracking tools, creating a comprehensive sustainability solution for global enterprises. This strategic move strengthens Diginex's European presence while accelerating expansion into Asian and North American markets, positioning the company to capitalize on increasing regulatory requirements worldwide.
The combined platform addresses mounting regulatory pressures under standards including the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and the International Sustainability Standards Board framework. Companies can now access an end-to-end solution linking compliance, emissions visibility, and measurable climate impact through a single integrated system. Diginex's existing diginexESG platform already supports 19 global reporting frameworks, including those established by the Global Reporting Initiative, Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures. The integration with Plan A's technology adds sophisticated Scope 1 through 3 emissions tracking and decarbonization planning capabilities, enabling enterprises to manage their sustainability data collection, evaluation, and reporting through unified software.
The transaction involved €3 million in cash and 6,720,317 ordinary shares valued at approximately €52 million in exchange for complete ownership of Plan A. The deal was initially announced on December 2, 2025, and closed following satisfaction of standard closing conditions. The combined entity utilizes blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis technologies to increase transparency in corporate regulatory reporting and sustainable finance. This technological integration represents a significant advancement in how companies approach sustainability management, moving from fragmented reporting systems to comprehensive, data-driven platforms that can demonstrate real environmental impact.
The acquisition comes at a critical time as global regulatory frameworks continue to evolve and expand. The European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive represents one of the most comprehensive sustainability reporting requirements globally, affecting thousands of companies operating in European markets. Similarly, the International Sustainability Standards Board framework is gaining traction as a global baseline for sustainability disclosures. By combining Diginex's regulatory expertise with Plan A's emissions tracking technology, the platform provides companies with tools to navigate this complex regulatory landscape while implementing meaningful decarbonization strategies.
