Diginex Limited has entered into a definitive share purchase and transfer agreement to acquire PlanA.earth GmbH for a total consideration of €55 million. The deal comprises €3 million in cash and 6 720 317 newly issued ordinary shares of Diginex, valuing the equity component at €52 million. Upon closing, Visa and Deutsche Bank will join as shareholders, reflecting institutional support for the combined entity’s future growth and governance structure.

The transaction unites Diginex’s existing ESG reporting capabilities—certified across 19 global frameworks including GRI, SASB and TCFD—with Plan A’s AI-driven carbon accounting and decarbonization engine. Post-integration, the enhanced platform will deliver end-to-end sustainability services: regulatory reporting, supply-chain emissions tracking, Scope 3 assessments, target-setting and performance monitoring. Management projects that this unified solution will allow clients to quantify decarbonization as a driver of financial return, leveraging data analytics and automated workflows.

Diginex forecasts rapid expansion in the global sustainability software market, which industry studies estimate will grow at a compound annual rate of 20–25 percent to reach USD 80 billion–100 billion by 2030. The acquisition accelerates Diginex’s European footprint through Plan A’s established customer base of over 1 500 businesses and certified B Corp status, while enabling Plan A to scale into North America and Asia via Diginex’s public-company platform. Executive leadership expects enhanced access to capital and combined technology to capture increased demand driven by tightening climate-disclosure regulations and corporate net-zero commitments.
