Diginex and PlanA.earth have agreed terms on an acquisition that will see the two companies combine their ESG, carbon and regulatory capabilities into a single integrated offering.
The acquisition is intended to create one of Europe’s leading end-to-end ESG, carbon accounting and decarbonisation platforms. Under the definitive share purchase and transfer agreement, Diginex will acquire 100% of Plan A’s equity, delivering €3m in cash alongside 6,720,317 ordinary shares in Diginex valued at €52m.
As part of the transaction, Diginex said it would welcome Visa and Deutsche Bank as shareholders, strengthening its institutional backing and aligning the group with globally recognised financial services brands as it expands its sustainability technology footprint.
Diginex provides ESG reporting, compliance and sustainability data management solutions, supporting corporate reporting across 19 global regulatory and voluntary frameworks. Its platform is designed to help organisations manage audit processes, regulatory disclosures and sustainability performance within an increasingly complex global compliance environment.
Plan A specialises in AI-driven carbon accounting and decarbonisation technology, enabling enterprises to measure, analyse and reduce emissions across their operations and value chains. The platform focuses on Scope 3 emissions, supply chain transparency, target setting and performance tracking, areas that are becoming increasingly critical as climate disclosure requirements tighten.
Following completion, Diginex expects to offer a scaled sustainability platform linking regulatory ESG reporting with value-chain emissions data and decarbonisation strategy. The combined solution is positioned as a single, end-to-end system covering audit, ESG reporting and climate action, with the aim of reframing decarbonisation as a measurable driver of financial return rather than a compliance cost.
The acquisition also positions Diginex to capitalise on strong market growth. Industry estimates suggest the global ESG and sustainability software market could expand by around 20–25% CAGR over the next five years, reaching between $80bn and $100bn by 2030, driven by regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny and customer expectations around climate transparency.
Geographically, the deal is expected to accelerate expansion for both companies. Diginex will deepen its European presence through Plan A’s regional footprint and enterprise clients, while Plan A is set to scale across Asia and North America using Diginex’s global infrastructure and public-company platform.
Diginex chairman Miles Pelham said, “The acquisition of Plan A marks a transformative milestone in delivering the most advanced, user-friendly sustainability platform available. The synergy between our ESG tools and Plan A’s carbon expertise will empower businesses worldwide to navigate increasingly complex regulations and achieve meaningful data-driven progress toward sustainability goals and financial objectives.”
Plan A founder and CEO Lubomila Jordanova said, “Joining forces with Diginex represents a definitive shift for our industry. For too long, the market has remained deeply fragmented, forcing businesses to manage disparate, siloed solutions for supply chain transparency, ESG reporting, carbon accounting, and decarbonization. By unifying Plan A’s high-precision decarbonization technology with Diginex’s RegTech and regulatory expertise, we will be able to deliver a single, sophisticated platform that transforms fragmented data into measurable climate impact and clear financial ROI.”
