Transaction aims to Create the World's Most Comprehensive AI-Powered ESG and Carbon Management Platform

LONDON, Dec. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diginex Limited (NASDAQ:DGNX), a leading provider of Sustainability RegTech and Data Management solutions, today announced the signing of a non-binding MOU for the acquisition of PlanA.earth GmbH ("Plan A"), one of Europe's leading AI-powered carbon accounting and decarbonization platforms. This strategic all-share transaction will create a powerful, integrated end-to-end ESG and carbon management solution, enabling enterprises worldwide to measure, manage, and meaningfully reduce their environmental impact while meeting rising stakeholder expectations.

The proposed acquisition comes at a pivotal moment, as the global carbon management software market surges under regulatory momentum from the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). Valued at approximately USD 16 billion in 2025 and projected to double to USD 32 billion by 2030 (15% CAGR), the market is expected to exceed USD 100 billion by 2032, fuelled by rising demand for Scope 3 transparency, AI-driven forecasting, and verifiable net-zero pathways. The MOU builds on Diginex's recent expansion, including the acquisition of Matter DK ApS for advanced ESG analytics and strategic partnerships with leading advisory firms, meaning the combined company is positioned to capture this growth opportunity. On a pro forma basis, it targets accelerated revenue expansion from 2026 onward, driven by cross-selling synergies and an extended footprint across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and beyond.
