Diginex Limited announced a definitive share‑purchase and transfer agreement to acquire PlanA.earth GmbH, a European leader in AI‑powered carbon accounting and decarbonization. The deal values PlanA at €3 million in cash and 6,720,317 ordinary shares of Diginex, worth €52 million, for a total consideration of approximately €55 million. The parties expect the transaction to close in the second quarter of 2026. PlanA’s client portfolio includes major financial institutions such as Visa and Deutsche Bank, and its technology platform delivers real‑time Scope 3 emissions data and automated decarbonization pathways.
The acquisition is designed to fuse Diginex’s ESG reporting platform, diginexESG, with PlanA’s carbon‑accounting engine, creating a single, end‑to‑end sustainability solution that covers regulatory reporting, supply‑chain emissions, and decarbonization strategy. The move responds to tightening EU CSRD and ISSB standards that require comprehensive Scope 3 disclosures, and to a market that is projected to grow 20‑25% annually and reach $80‑$100 billion by 2030. By integrating AI‑driven analytics, Diginex can offer clients automated data collection, anomaly detection, and predictive emissions modeling, positioning the combined entity as a more compelling alternative to incumbents such as Workiva and Informatica.
Diginex’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic fit. In the six months ended September 30 2025, the company reported a 293% revenue increase, driven largely by subscription and license fees and a one‑time white‑label fee. The balance sheet has strengthened, moving from net liabilities to net assets. The €55 million purchase expands Diginex’s addressable market, adds a high‑growth customer base, and accelerates its transition from a niche RegTech provider to a comprehensive sustainability platform for mid‑market and enterprise clients worldwide.
Management highlighted the expected synergies. Chairman Miles Pelham said the deal “marks a transformative milestone in delivering the most advanced, user‑friendly sustainability platform available.” CEO Lubomila Jordanova added that “unifying Plan A’s high‑precision decarbonization technology with Diginex’s regulatory expertise will enable a single, sophisticated platform.” The integration is expected to generate cross‑selling opportunities, cost efficiencies from shared infrastructure, and accelerated geographic expansion into Asia and North America.
The transaction strengthens Diginex’s competitive position by offering a more complete solution than its larger rivals, expands its European footprint through PlanA’s existing customer base, and positions the company to capture the growing demand for integrated ESG and carbon management tools. No market reaction data were available at the time of the announcement, but the deal signals a significant strategic pivot toward sustainability technology.
The parties anticipate closing the transaction in Q2 2026. No change to Diginex’s existing financial guidance has been announced, but the acquisition is expected to support the company’s long‑term growth trajectory and enhance its value proposition to clients seeking end‑to‑end ESG and decarbonization solutions.
