Sustainability data platform Dcycle, headquartered in the UK and Madrid, has acquired German ESG software company ESG-X as part of its strategy to expand across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) and strengthen its sustainability data management capabilities. The acquisition combines Dcycle’s infrastructure for managing non-financial and sustainability data with ESG-X’s AI-powered sustainability reporting technology, which helps companies automate complex processes such as materiality assessments and ESG compliance reporting. This integration is expected to create a more comprehensive platform for businesses navigating evolving European sustainability regulations. Founded in 2020 by Juanjo Mestre, Jacobo Umbert, and Luis Escámez, Dcycle operates as a B2B SaaS platform that helps organisations centralise and manage sustainability and operational data needed for ESG reporting and decision-making. The acquisition marks a key milestone in the company’s European expansion strategy as demand grows for integrated ESG data infrastructure across industries. ESG-X, based in Munich and Düsseldorf, specialises in AI-driven sustainability reporting aligned with regulatory frameworks such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the voluntary sustainability standards for SMEs. Its proprietary AI models automate tasks such as data mapping and double materiality assessments, helping companies manage ESG reporting requirements more efficiently. Following the acquisition, the founders of ESG-X - Paolo Mazza, Valentin Aman, and Jean Bauer will join Dcycle’s team to support product integration and regional growth. The combined company aims to provide specialised support across Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom, three markets that account for a large share of Europe’s sustainability reporting regulations. The move reflects a broader consolidation trend in the European ESG software sector as companies seek integrated platforms capable of handling increasingly complex sustainability data, reporting standards, and compliance requirements.
