What APLANET does

APLANET (legal entity: INNOVATIVE CSR TECHNOLOGIES AND CONSULTING, S.L.) is a Spain-based SaaS provider of ESG management and sustainability reporting software, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Bilbao. Its platform automates ESG data collection, centralizes sustainability data with full audit trails, and generates compliance reports across multiple international frameworks — CSRD, GRI, IFRS, ISSB, SFDR, and GHG Protocol — including machine-readable XBRL output in EFRAG-recommended formats. The product portfolio comprises five modules: SUSTAINABILITY (core ESG data management), NEUTRALITY (AI-powered carbon footprint calculation and decarbonization planning for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions), MATERIALITY (double materiality analysis for CSRD), SUPPLY CHAIN (supplier evaluation against ESRS KPIs), and XBRL Reporting (regulatory submission). Underlying technology is a cloud-based SaaS platform with a public REST API that integrates with ERP, HR, fleet management, financial accounting, and Microsoft Office systems. AI is featured for predictive ESG metrics, automated validation, and generative decarbonization plans, though the platform's defensible value sits more in regulatory framework coverage and domain workflow design than in proprietary AI.

The company serves both SMEs (organizations under 250 employees) and large multinationals, with publicly disclosed tiered pricing of €999/month for SMEs, €1,499/month for mid-market, quote-based pricing for enterprises over 1,000 employees, and €649–€899/month for the NEUTRALITY module, on annual billing with a 12-month minimum. Named enterprise customers span retail (Walmart Mexico, THOM Group), energy (EDP, Engie), financial services (Portobello Capital, Banco Caminos), media (Globo), and industrial services (Dominion). APLANET operates across 7 countries (Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, UK, Poland, Brazil) with multi-language support across 6 languages. As of March 2023, the company had raised approximately €4 million in its most recent funding round, with cumulative disclosed funding across rounds since 2020 totaling roughly €6 million; investors include EDP Ventures, CDTI, JME Ventures, FJ Labs, All Iron, Viriditas, Draper B1, and Google for Startups. The GTM motion is primarily enterprise field sales supplemented by self-serve SME subscription, with a content-led marketing strategy anchored by the ATALKS video series and an extensive ESG educational resource library.
