LONDON, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diginex Limited (NASDAQ: DGNX) (“Diginex” or the “Company”), a leading provider of Sustainability RegTech solutions, today announced the consolidation of a new, Group-level Subject Matter Expertise (“SME”) Group, bringing together the Company’s scientific, regulatory and methodological expertise to support product development and advisory delivery in order to help clients move from information to insights, leveraging data to drive measurable outcomes and improve performance.

The initiative marks a continued step in Diginex's business integration strategy, aimed at delivering best-in-class solutions. It extends the integration mandate Archana Kotecha carried as Chief Impact Officer, when she was tasked with bringing the Diginex, Plan A, Matter and The Remedy Project offerings together into unified commercial solutions. Since being appointed interim Chief Executive Officer on August 31, 2026, Ms. Kotecha has moved to build that mandate into a clearer, Group-level capability.

A Group-Wide Initiative for ESG Intelligence, Product Development and Advisory

The SME Group will operate across three core pillars:

Science & Intelligence: bringing together scientific, regulatory and methodological expertise to inform Diginex’s solutions and help translate complex sustainability requirements into actionable intelligence.

Products & Upgrades: embedding subject-matter expertise into product development, methodologies, data logic and future product enhancements.

Advisory Services: applying the Group’s combined expertise to practical client solutions across environmental and human rights challenges, enabling its clients to take strategic and financial decisions based on the data its tools provide.

Johannes Weber has been appointed VP of Sustainability Science and Intelligence.

Johannes Weber is an environmental management and sustainability professional with 14 years of international affairs and business experience advising ministerial and C-level decision-makers at the intersection of innovation and sustainable development.

Prior to his appointment as VP, Sustainability Science and Intelligence at Diginex, he served as the Director of Sustainability Solutions at Plan A in Berlin, where he was responsible for developing the company's carbon accounting capabilities and advisory services. Prior to his role at Plan A, Johannes was Head of Global Sustainability at Bird Rides. He also spent nearly a decade at the OECD in Paris, where he delivered strategic recommendations to national governments to accelerate green technology uptake and sustainable urban infrastructure.

Management Commentary

“As Chief Impact Officer, I began the work of connecting our expertise more intentionally, ensuring that our products and advisory services draw on the depth of scientific, regulatory and specialist knowledge across the Group. Establishing this as a clearer, Group-level capability is a natural next step,” said Archana Kotecha, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Diginex. “By bringing our scientific, regulatory, and specialist expertise closer to how we develop our products and deliver for clients, we can strengthen our methodologies, turn insight into practical action and ultimately help our clients achieve better, measurable outcomes.”

“I am pleased to take on this role at a moment when clients need scientific and regulatory expertise translated into practical, day-to-day decisions,” said Johannes Weber, VP of Sustainability Science and Intelligence at Diginex. “Our focus in Science & Intelligence is to make sure that expertise doesn’t sit apart from the business; it should shape how our products are built and how our advisory teams support clients on ESG and human rights challenges.”
