Greenomy bets the EU's CSRD mandate creates a reporting market; sold to Position Green

Greenomy is a SaaS platform that helps companies and financial institutions collect ESG data and produce sustainability reports compliant with EU frameworks — CSRD, EU Taxonomy, SFDR and later VSME.

That the EU's CSRD would force tens of thousands of companies to report, and a SaaS automating CSRD, Taxonomy and SFDR compliance would become market infrastructure.

Founded in Brussels in 2020, Greenomy built a one-stop SaaS platform to help corporates, credit institutions and asset managers comply with new EU sustainable-finance legislation. In January 2022 Euroclear made a strategic investment (terms undisclosed), betting on Greenomy's ambition to become global ESG market infrastructure; the platform later won first place for sustainable finance at the G20 TechSprint.

The CSRD entered into force in January 2023 and extended sustainability reporting from roughly 11,000 to an estimated 50,000 companies, with first reports due in 2025 for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2024. Greenomy scaled distribution partnerships — Swift for ESG data across its network, ERM for advisory, Cerved for the Italian market — and became known as one of the most advanced CSRD/EU Taxonomy/VSME platforms, with customers globally.

In September 2025, Position Green — the Nordic ESG software and advisory leader serving 800+ companies — acquired Greenomy, keeping its 45-person Brussels team as its EU regulatory hub; Euroclear, majority investor since 2022, remained a shareholder in the combined group.

CSRD turned sustainability reporting from voluntary into mandatory for an estimated 50,000 companies, creating a real, deadline-driven software market.

Greenomy built one data model covering several EU frameworks, making it a platform rather than a one-off reporting service.

Strategic distribution — Euroclear's investment and the Swift partnership — gave it reach into financial-market infrastructure that pure SaaS startups couldn't match.

Timing worked: product and partnerships were ready as the first CSRD reports came due in 2025, and the company was acquired just as the market consolidated.

A regulation with a hard deadline creates a market with a clock: build compliance as a product, attach to distribution early, and you become the infrastructure a bigger player has to buy.

As of September 2025, Position Green, the Nordic ESG software and advisory company majority-owned by Norvestor serving 800+ companies, had acquired Greenomy. Greenomy's 45 employees and Brussels base became Position Green's EU regulatory center, and Euroclear — majority investor since 2022 — stayed a shareholder. Position Green framed the deal as consolidation of Europe's fragmented sustainability-tech market, after its Morescope carbon deal. The ESG reporting software market was projected to grow from $1.3B in 2023 to over $5.6B by 2029, and founder Alexander Stevens stayed on as advisor.
