About
Stegra (formerly H2 Green Steel, rebranded 2024) is a Boden, Sweden-based green steel manufacturer — backed with approximately €6.5 billion in total funding from investors including Schaeffler (€100M total), Vargas Holding, and 20+ strategic and financial investors spanning the founder of Spotify to industrial corporations — building Europe's first large-scale green hydrogen steel plant in Boden, 45 miles south of the Arctic Circle, with operations expected by end of 2025 and commercial production ramping in 2026 toward 5 million tonnes annually by 2030. Founded in 2020 by Vargas Holding (the same investment group behind Northvolt), Stegra is led by CEO Henrik Henriksson (former CEO of Scania). The Boden facility features Europe's largest green hydrogen electrolyzer (800 MW), a MIDREX H2 DRI (direct reduced iron) plant, and a downstream steel mill supplied by SMS Group — replacing the coal-based blast furnace process with green hydrogen electrolysis, producing steel with up to 95% less CO2 than conventional production. Stegra has pre-sold over 50% of planned production capacity at 20-30% price premiums to customers including Volvo Group, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and IKEA's parent Ingka Group.

About
Diligent is a New York-based governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform that has become one of the largest providers of board management and ESG software globally. The company serves over 700,000 board members and executives across 90+ countries, and has expanded its platform through strategic acquisitions including Galvanize (compliance and audit management) and BoardEffect (board portal for nonprofits and healthcare). Its ESG module integrates ESG data management with board-level governance workflows.\n\nDiligent ESG enables companies to collect ESG metrics across environmental, social, and governance dimensions, align with major reporting frameworks including GRI, TCFD, SASB, and the UN SDGs, and prepare board-level sustainability reports. The platform connects ESG performance data directly to the board agenda management workflow, allowing directors to review and approve sustainability disclosures within the same secure environment they use for board meetings and governance.\n\nDiligent targets large public companies, financial institutions, and regulated organizations that need to demonstrate strong governance around their ESG programs, not just report data. It competes with ServiceNow ESG, Workiva, and SAP Sustainability in the enterprise segment. Diligent's key differentiator is the integration of ESG with board governance—allowing sustainability to be managed as a fiduciary responsibility rather than a standalone compliance exercise.
