Founded in 2021, Cologne-based Planted has built an AI-driven ESG platform that guides companies through the full sustainability workflow, from double-materiality assessments and carbon accounting to decarbonisation initiatives and final CSRD reports. Its technology extracts data from existing documents, recommends emission-reduction measures, and highlights risks and opportunities, cutting users’ reporting time by up to 75 %. Beyond compliance, the software connects customers to local environmental projects such as mixed-forest plantings and typically helps them achieve emission reductions of more than 50 %. The company already supports more than 350 corporate customers in Germany. Planted positions its product as a way to turn CSRD obligations into strategic advantages, marrying ecological responsibility with measurable economic benefits. The recent €5 million seed infusion strengthens its balance sheet to accelerate product development and market expansion. No revenue figures were disclosed in the article.
