Future Planet

What Future Planet does

Future Planet is a privately held software company headquartered in Cork, Ireland, that provides a cloud-based sustainability management platform for organisations navigating CSRD and other global ESG reporting frameworks. The platform is organised into three integrated modules — Sustainability Strategy (guiding Double Materiality Assessment through instantaneous sector previews, automated stakeholder mapping, and IRO identification), Measure & Report (aggregating sustainability data across multiple facilities and the full value chain, supporting Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions calculations and one-click CO2 report generation), and Transform (delivering automated transition plans, metrics library, and a cross-functional transformation hub). The system is aligned with ESRS, GRI, SASB, VSME, TCFD, ISSB, ISO, UNGP, and CSRD requirements and supports Science Based Targets work including FLAG guidance.

The company monetises through custom-priced annual SaaS subscriptions tiered by organisation size and scope, supplemented by an in-house consulting practice that advises on sustainability strategy, stakeholder engagement, data design, and emissions management — often bundled with or sold alongside the platform. The primary go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales driven through a 'Book a Demo' motion targeting CSOs, ESG leads, CFOs, and Group Sustainability Directors, amplified by strategic partnerships (CIF, IGBC, EFRAG, UN Global Compact) that generate referral pipeline, particularly into the construction vertical.

Future Planet serves enterprises in-scope for CSRD across Ireland, the UK, and broader Europe, with a visible logo base spanning construction (Walls Construction, SISK, Constructel), food and agribusiness (FLI Group, ArraTipp/Arrabawn, Carbery, Hilton Foods), utilities (GMC Utilities, Uisce Eireann), ceramics (Vista Alegre Atlantis), financial services (BSN Capital, Fexco), professional services (Carne Group), and telecommunications (Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise across 50 countries). The company is co-founded by Donal Daly (CEO, an enterprise SaaS operator with prior ventures serving more than a million users) and Ingrid De Doncker (Head of Research and Innovation, with a background in sustainable procurement and supply chain management). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds are reported in the supplied material, and the company maintains an active thought-leadership presence in European sustainability standard-setting communities.
