Our take
The EU has significantly stepped up sustainability reporting with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (SCRD), which will require around 50,000 companies to disclose environmental data - covering most of the region's economic activity. This moves the market from voluntary reporting to clear, standardised rules. Even though these are proposals to reduce how many companies are directly affected, large firms will still push these requirements down to suppliers, keeping demand high for tools like Plan A.
Plan A is standing out in a crowded space but focusing on accuracy and credibility. Its B Corp certification and strong focus on measuring hard-to-track emissions (especially Scope 3, which comes from supply chains), means it offers more than just surface-level reporting. This matters as companies increasingly need data they can actually rely on and act on, not just disclose.
Now, after being acquired by Diginex, Plan A is becoming part of a larger, all-in-one platform that combines reporting, emissions tracking and decarbonisation planning. While expectations will be raised, this should ultimately make it more useful to companies trying to manage suitability in one place.
