Connect Earth Acquires Datia to Launch Sustainable Finance OS
London / Stockholm, 23 September 2025
Connect Earth, the climate-fintech supplying financial institutions with carbon measurement solutions, today announced its acquisition of Datia, a Stockholm-based ESG reporting platform serving asset managers and financial institutions across Europe and the US.
The acquisition marks a major step in Connect Earth’s mission to build the Sustainable Finance Operating System (OS): a unified, end-to-end data backbone enabling financial institutions to comply with regulation, engage customers, and originate ESG-linked finance at scale.
Financial institutions globally face mounting regulatory requirements, including SFDR, CSRD, and the EU Taxonomy, while simultaneously under pressure to reduce costs and deliver value to clients. Many remain stuck with incumbent, expensive and fragmented ESG tools and duplicated datasets. By integrating Datia’s advanced regulatory reporting technology with Connect Earth’s API-first carbon and ESG infrastructure, the combined platform solves these challenges with a single, standardised data solution.
“Finance is the most powerful lever we have to address sustainability. By acquiring Datia and unifying ESG reporting with emissions data and customer engagement, Connect Earth is redefining how financial institutions approach sustainability,” said Alexander Lempka, CEO of Connect Earth.
“We help banks and asset managers move beyond compliance, turning regulation into opportunity and impact into growth. Effectively, we now cover demand generation for sustainable products and the supply of regulatory reporting tools.”
For Datia, this move is also extremely aligned with the mission of making Sustainable Finance more accessible.
“By joining forces with Connect Earth, we’re bringing together two leaders in sustainable finance to deliver an end-to-end offering for banks, from retail and wealth to asset management and lending. Our combined technology, data, and global footprint across EMEA and North America will help customers move faster and with more confidence. I’m proud of what we’ve built at Datia and excited to keep supporting the combined company as a board observer,” said Juan Manuel Serruya, CEO and founder of Datia.
