Diginex, a Nasdaq-listed sustainability RegTech company, has completed its acquisition of Matter DK ApS, an ESG data firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Diginex, known for its diginexESG platform, offers technology-driven tools that help companies navigate sustainability reporting and compliance. Matter delivers ESG data and analytics solutions for the investment industry, with an emphasis on transparency and traceability.
The acquisition, which was first outlined in a memorandum of understanding signed in May 2025 and finalised in August, values Matter’s equity at $13m. The transaction was settled entirely in shares, with Diginex issuing 1,241,496 ordinary shares as part of the purchase price. The shares, initially valued at $83.77 per share, were later adjusted to $10.47 following a Diginex bonus share issuance. Additional shares will be issued over a 12-month period, and both the consideration and management shares are subject to vesting and lock-up arrangements.
Through the acquisition, Diginex aims to enhance its ESG benchmarking, reporting, and AI-driven analytics capabilities. By integrating Matter’s expertise and datasets, Diginex will deliver a more comprehensive ESG offering that combines data transparency with advanced reporting and analytics tools. This move is expected to strengthen its position in sustainable finance, helping clients meet growing global regulatory and stakeholder expectations.
Matter brings with it a sophisticated analytics platform enabling portfolio-level sustainability analysis, as well as flexible API integrations powering major platforms such as Nasdaq eVestment. Its datasets are aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and multiple regulatory frameworks, enabling accurate and comparable ESG assessments for institutional investors.
The acquisition also supports Diginex’s strategy to build end-to-end ESG solutions through its diginexESG platform, which already aligns with more than 19 global reporting standards, including GRI, SASB, and TCFD. This synergy will empower financial institutions, governments, and corporations to improve data collection, automate reporting, and make more informed sustainable investment decisions.
Diginex Chairman Miles Pelham said, “We are delighted to officially welcome Matter to the Diginex family, marking a transformative milestone in our growth strategy. By merging Matter’s pioneering ESG data expertise with our RegTech innovations in blockchain, AI, and machine learning, we are creating a powerhouse for sustainable finance. This acquisition, from majority owner Nasdaq, not only broadens our market reach but also accelerates our ability to help clients achieve meaningful environmental and social impact.”
Matter CEO Niels Fibæk said, “The completion of this acquisition is a pivotal moment for Matter and our team. Joining Diginex unlocks new opportunities to scale our analytics and API solutions globally, providing even deeper insights for sustainable investing. Together, we’re poised to lead the industry in transparent, data-driven sustainability.”
