Deal strengthens supply chain due diligence and remediation offerings amid tightening global regulation

Sustainability RegTech firm Diginex has completed the acquisition of The Remedy Project, a specialist advisory and research firm focused on labor rights and human rights risks in global supply chains. The transaction deepens Diginex’s ability to support companies facing rising expectations around human rights due diligence and enforceable remediation.

The acquisition comes at a time when regulatory pressure on supply chains is intensifying. New and proposed frameworks, including the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, are increasingly requiring companies not only to identify human rights risks, but also to demonstrate credible, verifiable processes to address and remediate harms.

Bridging Risk Identification and Remedy

Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Hong Kong, The Remedy Project works with companies, industry bodies, governments, and civil society organizations to strengthen human rights due diligence across complex supply chains. Its work focuses on designing and evaluating grievance mechanisms, supporting access to remedy for workers, and ensuring that remediation processes are effective, particularly in high-risk sectors and geographies across Asia.

Archana Kotecha, Founder and CEO of The Remedy Project, said the firm has long been centered on a single challenge: ensuring that due diligence translates into real outcomes for workers. She noted that joining Diginex creates an opportunity to combine worker-centered human rights methodologies with scalable technology, helping close the persistent gap between identifying risks and delivering enforceable remedies. Following the acquisition, Kotecha will join Diginex’s executive team, with a mandate spanning remedy innovation and global engagement with corporations and governments.

Integrating Advisory Expertise with ESG Technology

Diginex provides software platforms that help organizations collect, manage, and report ESG, climate, and supply chain data, drawing on technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analytics. By integrating The Remedy Project’s advisory expertise into its technology stack, Diginex aims to offer clients a more comprehensive solution that links risk identification, monitoring, and reporting with practical remediation strategies.

According to the company, this combined offering is designed to help organizations comply with evolving global regulations while moving beyond compliance toward more transparent, accountable, and worker-focused supply chain practices.

Mark Blick, Chief Executive Officer of Diginex, described the acquisition as a significant step in the company’s strategy to deliver actionable sustainability solutions. He said that incorporating The Remedy Project’s human rights governance expertise would strengthen Diginex’s supply chain platforms and support clients in building more humane and responsible global operations.

Part of a Broader Expansion Strategy

The Remedy Project transaction follows a series of acquisitions and agreements by Diginex over recent months, including a deal to acquire carbon measurement and decarbonization software provider Plan A, the acquisition of ESG data company Matter from Nasdaq, and the purchase of supply chain risk monitoring platform Findings.

As consideration for the acquisition, Diginex issued one million ordinary shares to The Remedy Project’s sole shareholder, with a commitment to issue up to an additional one million shares subject to the achievement of operating and earn-out targets over the next three years.

Taken together, the moves signal Diginex’s ambition to position itself as an integrated platform spanning ESG reporting, climate data, supply chain risk, and now human rights due diligence and remediation, reflecting the growing convergence of regulation, technology, and accountability in global supply chains.
