Diginex acquires Plan A to build integrated ESG platform

January 8, 2026

Diginex and PlanA.earth have agreed terms on a transaction that will see Diginex acquire 100% of Plan A’s equity, bringing the two companies together to form an integrated sustainability technology group.

The acquisition is designed to combine ESG reporting, carbon accounting and decarbonisation capabilities within a single platform. Under the terms of the definitive share purchase and transfer agreement, Diginex will pay €3m in cash and issue 6,720,317 ordinary shares valued at €52m to Plan A’s sellers. The transaction also introduces Visa and Deutsche Bank as shareholders in Diginex following completion.

Diginex provides ESG reporting and sustainability data management solutions, with coverage across 19 global reporting frameworks. Its technology is designed to help organisations meet regulatory and investor requirements, manage disclosures and align sustainability performance with broader business strategy. The company has positioned itself as a RegTech provider addressing growing regulatory complexity around ESG and climate reporting.

Plan A specialises in AI-driven carbon accounting and decarbonisation software, supporting organisations in measuring emissions across their value chains and developing credible reduction strategies. Its platform focuses on high-precision emissions data, including Scope 3 assessments, and helps companies link decarbonisation efforts to operational and financial outcomes.

Together, the combined group plans to offer an end-to-end sustainability platform that connects regulatory reporting, value-chain emissions data and decarbonisation planning. The aim is to provide a single solution covering corporate audit support, ESG disclosures, supply chain transparency, target-setting and performance tracking, addressing what both companies describe as fragmentation across the sustainability software market.

The acquisition also positions Diginex to benefit from expected growth in ESG and sustainability software. Industry estimates cited by the company suggest the market could grow at a compound annual rate of around 20–25% over the next five years, reaching between $80bn and $100bn by 2030. Diginex believes regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny and demand for auditable climate data are accelerating adoption.

Geographically, the deal is intended to strengthen Diginex’s presence in Europe through Plan A’s regional footprint and enterprise customers, while enabling Plan A to expand more rapidly into 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.”
Plan A founder and CEO Lubomila Jordanova said, “Joining forces with Diginex represents a definitive shift for our industry.”
