Diligent and Persefoni team up for ESG innovation

Diligent and Persefoni have formed a strategic partnership to help clients navigate complex sustainability reporting with confidence.

The collaboration aims to equip organisations with advanced tools and support to meet sustainability and regulatory objectives in a rapidly evolving ESG landscape. Through this partnership, Diligent will transition its carbon accounting clients to Persefoni’s market-leading platform and take an equity position in the company, marking a long-term commitment to innovation in sustainability technology.

Diligent provides governance, risk and compliance software that enables leaders to make informed decisions and improve transparency. The company’s suite of tools supports over one million users across 130 countries. Persefoni, meanwhile, offers AI-driven sustainability and carbon management solutions that allow businesses and financial institutions to measure, analyse and report their carbon emissions, including Scope 1, 2, and 3 data, in line with evolving global standards.

The partnership ensures Diligent clients benefit from Persefoni’s advanced capabilities in carbon footprint management, including its powerful Scope 3 supply chain sustainability and AI-powered disclosure readiness tools. The agreement strengthens Diligent’s ESG offering while enhancing Persefoni’s global reach and growth trajectory.

This alliance also comes at a critical time for companies worldwide, as new regulatory frameworks such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) guidelines create mounting pressure for accurate, transparent, and standardised emissions disclosure. The combined expertise of Diligent and Persefoni positions both firms at the forefront of helping businesses comply with these requirements while driving long-term sustainability impact.

Diligent general manager of compliance Amanda Carty said, “Diligent is committed to providing our customers with the best solutions available to meet today’s needs while preparing for tomorrow’s demands. Persefoni’s advanced technology, compelling roadmap, and top-tier NPS among sustainability vendors makes them the ideal partner for us. We are excited to invest in their growth and expand the possibilities for our carbon accounting clients, reinforcing our long-term commitment to the ESG market.”

Persefoni CEO and co-founder Kentaro Kawamori said, “Diligent is the unquestioned global leader in Governance, Risk, and Compliance, setting the standard for customer commitment and innovation. Being selected by the best is a powerful validation of Persefoni’s technology and vision, and we’re honoured to partner with their exceptional team to shape the future of sustainability together.”
