Diginex Signs MOU to Acquire Carbon Accounting Platform Plan A

Sustainability RegTech company Diginex has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire Germany-based carbon accounting and decarbonisation software provider Plan A, aiming to create a comprehensive AI-powered ESG and carbon management platform. Plan A's client roster includes BMW, Deutsche Bank and Visa, and its platform is compliant with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and Science Based Targets initiative.

Founded in 2017 by CEO Lubomila Jordanova, Plan A provides a SaaS platform covering corporate carbon accounting, decarbonisation planning and sustainability reporting, enabling companies to collect carbon data, measure their footprint, set science-based targets and track progress. Diginex, which deploys blockchain, AI and machine learning technology in its ESG data and supply chain risk products, said the combined offering will provide automated data collection through flexible APIs, granular emissions dashboards and audit-ready reporting. The acquisition follows Diginex's earlier purchases of ESG data company Matter from Nasdaq and supply chain risk monitoring platform Findings.

The transaction targets the rapidly expanding global carbon management software market, driven by regulatory momentum from the EU's CSRD and ISSB standards and rising corporate demand for verified Scope 3 transparency and net zero pathway tools. The combination of Plan A's carbon engine with Diginex's ESG reporting and supply chain transparency solutions is intended to deliver an end-to-end platform that competes with established ESG data providers. For companies across Asia-Pacific, including India, where BRSR Core requirements are driving demand for structured carbon data collection tools, integrated platforms that cover both reporting and decarbonisation planning will likely see increasing uptake.

Diginex said the acquisition targets accelerated revenue expansion from 2026, driven by cross-selling synergies and an extended geographic footprint across Europe, Asia-Pacific and beyond. The non-binding MOU means final terms, valuation and completion timelines remain subject to negotiation. As part of the combined entity, Diginex expects to welcome Visa and Deutsche Bank as new shareholders following completion. The deal is the latest indication that the ESG RegTech sector is consolidating around platforms capable of serving the full spectrum from data collection and regulatory reporting to active decarbonisation management.
